Time Lyrics - Singles - Thomas Williams

You look him in the eye as he takes your hand 

and there's no surprise what he's got planned 

and you grit your teeth in anticipation of the pain and the shame and the condemnation 

you close your eyes, he grips your wrist and as he runs away he starts to twist 

And you're cut off from the world and it won't come back 

And you pull and you pull but the rope's gone slack 

And you feel like something's missing and you try and you try, but you're not connecting 

Everyone's a stranger and you're on your own. 

The days are long and the nights are cold. 

The candle keeps burning, but you're running out of wick 

And the feeling of motion makes you feel sick 

And the turning page can't be outrun 

And though the band keeps playing, your song is sung. 

The game is played but never won. 

The players change and the show goes on.
