TIME PASSAGES by Al Stewart

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 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

Time passages

Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight
