Al Stewart - Time Pa**ages lyrics

It was late in December, the sky turned to snow All 'round the day was going down slow Night like a river beginning to flow I felt the beat of my mind go drifting into Time pa**ages Years go falling in the fading light Time pa**ages Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight 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 things that don't last It's just now and then my line gets cast into these Time pa**ages There's something back there that you left behind Time pa**ages 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 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 those Time pa**ages I know you're in there, you're just out of sight Time pa**ages Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight
