============================
It was late in December,
the sky turned to snow
All round the day,
it 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 things that don't last
Well, it's just now and then
my line gets cast into these
Time passages
There's something back
there that you left behind
Oh oh 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 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
Oh oh oh, time passages
Buy me a ticket on the
last train home tonight
