Questions Marks In Time Lyrics - Dan Hill

Washed out in the stillness of the night 

She's left searching 

Once again love's promise has been broken 

And he snores indifferently to the rhythm of her breathing 

As she lights a cigarette and waits for morning 

Light years apart, they lie both together 

Like a child caught playing with matches 

She's been burned again by fire 

And she knows she's been betrayed by her own imagination 

The cigarette keeps burning as she curses her desire. 

And she thinks 

She's the only one who's lonely 

And she wants the world to feel sorry 

And she's trapped 

Within her own self pity 

And she asks: will anybody love me. 

And on the radio an old song sings 

Suggesting that love is why we're living 

As she turns the station fast. 

She looks down at her lover 

A friend of a friend of a stranger 

As if his mouth might breathe an answer 

And she knows she's getting older 

The emptiness controls her 

And the smoke curls round her fingertips 

Like question marks in time 

The sun plays with the windows 

As the man wakes up beside her 

Silences are awkward as he reaches for his clothes 

And as he leaves 

She feels suspended, invaded and rejected 

The cigarette is ended 

That's how her story goes
