I can feel The turning of the tides Pulling away the night Like a sheet From over me.
In summer time Dissolve to a beach And everywhere seems to be Just a flicker on a silent screen.
Because I can't stay long Let the sky roll on Just a flicker And the crowd moves on In wintertime Overcoats close in And the snow tastes of tin On the steps of any station.
I need to glide In the long green light Of a July afternoon Sliding down a vague conversation.
Because I can't stay long When the moment comes Just a glance And the glancer's gone.
Watch closely As a man with a hat And a girl with a map Synchronise with the track And echo away.
I need to drift through the walls Let the scenery dissolve Into some other lives Because I can't stay long,
Let the crowds roll on When the right time comes I'll resign.
