A letra:
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 it's just now and
then my line gets cast into these
Time passages
There's
something back here 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 a crowd
They're laughing at something
And the
music's loud
A girl comes towards you
You once used to know
You
reach out your hand
But you're all alone, in these
Time
passages
I know you're in there, you're just out of sight
Time
passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight
