Time Passages (Live)

Time Passages (Live) - 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

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 just out of sight

Oh time passages

Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight
