Time Passages

It was late in December, the sky turned to snow All round the day was goin' down slow Night like a river beginning to flow I felt the beat of my mind go Drifting into time passages Years go falling in the fading light Time passages Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight Well I'm not the kind to live in the past The years run too short and the days too fast The things you lean on, are the things that don't last Well it's just now and then, my line gets cast into these Time passages There's something back here that you left behind Oh, time passages Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight Hear the echoes and feel yourself starting to turn Don't know why you should feel That there's something to learn It's just a game that you play Well the picture is changing, now you're part of a crowd They're laughing at something, and the music's loud A girl comes towards you, you once used to know You reach out your hand, but you're all alone in these Time passages I know you're in there, you're just out of sight Oh, time passages Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight
