Time keeps running away on me
I don't take it personally
Time used to stroke my cheek
And whistle me to sleep
And carry off the tune into my dreaming
Just drifting on that light and breezy feeling
Time take me back inside your arms
Time take me back inside your arms
I revelled in you every day and night
How you turn the dark to light
Your finger on the dimmer switch of life
I wonder how it feels to hold the knife
That cuts the wires of consciousness
Imbues every second with preciousness
I carry on
I carry on
I carry on
Time take me back inside your arms
Time take me back inside your arms
Is this the sound of your alarm
A sweet monotony
All that I know is that I've come
So I will have to leave
Time will take me back inside its arms
Time will take me back inside its arms
Time take me back inside your arms
