In The Meantime

Passing by

Watched them walk away

Making plans and designing their escapes

Counting ways

And destinations lost

See the lines created were never to be crossed

In the meantime

Nothing on my thinking

Publications printing

Where it all went wrong

As the clock chimes

Did the wall just slow down

Blames and mislead know-how

People playing along

Hanging

On a window

Staring at the moon

But I'm trying to

Tell the

Time that

Baby I'm not through

And thanks for being true

Prepare the ground

And lower your head in prayer

Build a fire

And dwell on memories shared

Show your face

To all that you have feared

'Cause no one will be turning back the years

In the meantime

Nothing on my thinking

Publications printing

Where it all went wrong

As the clock chimes

Did the wall just slow down

Blames and mislead know-how

People playing along

Hanging

On a window

Staring at the moon

But I'm trying to

Tell the

Time that

Baby I'm not through

And thanks for being true

(Yeah)
