|
I wait and wait
|
sleepwalk the hourglass
|
this way and that
|
the pendulum swings
|
yes there's plenty of time
|
always time left to kill
|
does time stand still
|
or hurtle on by?
|
|
let time unwind
|
let all the cogs fall out
|
let mans machines
|
collapse and rust
|
face down in the dust
|
i'll kiss no other lips
|
a life time of nothing
|
condemned without you
|
|
been so long here
|
i could die here
|
lying by your side
|
but time won't claim me
|
time and me only
|
i'm just killing time
|
|
if the sun went out
|
i wouldn't mind too much
|
who needs the days
|
to trouble to fill?
|
if the moon didn't rise
|
i wouldn't be upset
|
who needs moonshine
|
to cause tears to spill?
|
|
i've been so long here
|
i could lie here
|
under dying sky
|
this thirst and hunger
|
holds no wonder
|
i'm just killing time
|
|
i await your return
|
there's no other one
|
