You were as the only thing reflected from my smiling eyes
deeper than you ever could have known my dear
sitting on the poolroom table even then i knew
that you would help me on my way
you snuck out to see me that night later we crept in
ever since that moment i was air and you the wind
blindly kissing handing out our hearts
Holding on while time takes over
Pictures hang in wooden frames moments caught in time remain
words last longer than the mind books in boxes stored
dusty from a time when we were young and it was easy
to love the one who led me on my way
We sank quickly deeper like a stone into the well
burning bright and fast nothing around us as we fell
stamping words and pictures in our hearts
Holding on while time takes over
I know now that you are gone time prevailed and now has won
but time was right we never could have been my dear
the knife’s for bread the spoon’s for soup and that is how it goes
still I had helped you on your way
cloudy nights and salted showers passed around my head
time’s old hand was held out to pull me from my bed
nursing me to health curled in his arms
Holding on while time takes over
Happy now to leave behind the red hot flame that I had owned
leave it to books in boxes pictures in their frames
all the songs once played to me now happily I can hear
and now I can sing to you this song
you have made me what I am and I'm happy being me
I wear an old scarf round my waist and go out in the day
playing cards with Chronus on the hill
Holding on while time takes over
