Half an hour is gone and here we belong
|
Living it so it can't be wrong
|
Cos I was born the wrong way round
|
Growing up while coming down
|
But I didn't even know this
|
When you took me by the hand
|
|
That you
|
Talk ever so lightly
|
Lately
|
And you walk
|
Ever so slowly
|
|
I didn't know and I didn't care
|
What there was that could catch your breath
|
But a moment gone is a moment caught
|
And in half an hour I was taught
|
That I didn't need to know this
|
When you walked out of the night
|
|
That you talk ever so lightly
|
Lately
|
And you walk
|
Ever so slowly
|
|
I didn't move and I didn't breath
|
To be there where you were
|
I didn't think cos I didn't know
|
That half an hour spent
|
And all of the days and all of the ways
|
Will be there when you are gone
|
|
Cos you talk ever so lightly
|
Lately
|
A nd you walk
|
Ever so slowly
|
|
Half an hour's gone and we're still together
|
Walking now beneath the weather
|
All the dreams, all the pains
|
All that's come back again
|
But we don't need to be there
|
When it comes on oh so low
|
|
Cos you talk ever so lightly
|
Lately
|
And you walk
|
Ever so slowly
|
|
Come on this time but not for us
|
To be there when we're gone
|
And all of the world and all of the days
|
Are just half an hour long
|
And all of the lives of all of the gods
|
Will envy us our song
|
|
Cos you talk ever so lightly
|
Lately
|
And you walk
|
Ever so slowly
|
|
