Lyrics

Time slips through fingers like smoke. We chase it, waste it, never hold it
And all the while it folds back on itself, time after time
There's a clock on the wall that doesn't tick for me, just sways like a pendulum lost at sea
I do not count hours, I count what I missed, moments I lived through but never gave
I held the morning, let the evening fall, time doesn't answer, it doesn't call
Time slips like smoke through the seams of a dream, like rain in a memory I can't quite believe
It's here, and it's now, a whisper I forgot
I tried to bottle it, label it gold, all the small yesterdays I couldn't hold
But time doesn't care for jars or nails, it leaves the room the moment it came
Time slips like smoke through the seams of a dream, like shadows on walls that do not mean a thing
It's here, and it's now, a whisper I forgot
And still I chase the clock, we chase it
So strange
So strange
So strange
