Lyrics
The clock is ticking on the wall
The sunlight fleeing from your face
Your bags are filling up a shadow down the hall
But I can't watch you look away
Hey my love it's almost time
To say goodbye to all we know
So let's hold tightly to tonight
And never let each other go
And never let each other go
Some say time's just water rushing
Unconcerned and undefined
But maybe time is more a bird on busted wing
That just needs love and care to fly
Hey my love it's almost time
To say goodbye to all we know
So let's hold tightly to tonight
And never let each other go
And never let each other go
I'd prepared a lot of lines
About how nice you'd look tonight
But I'm left wordless by the way you look right now
Swaying in the fading light
Hey my love it's almost time
To say goodbye to all we know
So let's hold tightly to tonight
And never let each other go
And never let each other go
