I can feel the turning of the tides
|
Pulling away the night
|
Like a sheet from over me
|
|
In summer time
|
I dissolve to a beach
|
And everywhere seems to be
|
Just a flicker on a silent screen
|
|
Because I
|
I can't stay long
|
Let the sky roll on
|
Just a flicker and the crowd moves on
|
|
In winter
|
Overcoats close in
|
And the snow tastes of tin
|
On the steps of any station
|
|
I'd like to glide in the long green light
|
Of a July afternoon
|
Sliding down a vague conversation
|
|
Because I
|
I can't stay long
|
When the moment comes
|
Just a glance and the glance is gone
|
|
Watch closely
|
As a man with a hat
|
And a girl with a map
|
Synchronise with the track
|
And they go away
|
|
I need to drift through all the walls
|
And let the scenery dissolve
|
Into some other life
|
|
Because I
|
I can't stay long
|
Let the sky roll on
|
Just a glance and the glance is gone
|
|
I
|
I can't stay long
|
When the right time comes
|
I'll dissolve
|
