Stepped Out Of Time

Stepping down a staircase I've seen in old dreams

It's unravelling, missed a stitch

A glitch in the fabric that mother did knit

When she gave us this

Extraordinary chance

To trip light fandango in the universal dance

We waltzed in willingly

It had to be

'Cause this is the way 'til we find

We've stepped out of time

Take a bow, it's your final curtain

I'm certain they loved your performance

The flowers they throw will continue to grow

When she gave us this

Extraordinary chance

To trip light fandango in the universal dance

We waltzed in willingly

It had to be

'Cause this is the way 'til we find

We've stepped out of time

Tell me doc, am I really gonna make it?

(Doesn't look good)

Tell me doc, should I look into the light?

(Yes, you should, what do you see?)

A vignette of the family

Quite neat on the mantelpiece

And I'm there

When she gave us this

Extraordinary chance

To trip light fandango in the universal dance

We waltzed in willingly

It had to be

'Cause this is the way 'til we find

We've stepped out of time

When she gave

Only fools would take her by the hand

And waltz with her willingly

It had to be

'Cause this is the way 'til we find

We've stepped out of time
