Time Passages Lyrics - Time Passages - 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 its just now and then, my line gets cast into these 

time passages 

There's something back there 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 the crowd 

they're laughing at something and the music's loud 

a girl comes toward you, you once used to know 

you reach out your hand, but you're all alone in those 

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
