Time Passes Songtext

von Paul Carrack

I lie here waiting in the dark
For the morning light
To come around
Counting the cracks up on the wall
I'm distracted by
Every single sign
As I watch the seconds tick away
I only wish there were less hours in the day
I've grown addicted to your touch
You know that I've got a craving
I need it so much

Time passes so slowly
When you're far away
This is the last time that
I leave you this way

I'm listening to the ticking clock
Watching at the hands creeping round and round
Just like a kid kept after school
Only difference is
I'm a grown man now

Sometimes I stop and wonder why
I'm spending every night alone
Just killing time
But I guess that's just the price you pay
Oh but it feels like I'm wishing my life away

Time passes so slowly
When you're far away
This is the last time that
I leave you this way

I know it won't be long
But till I'm back in your loving arms
I won't be right
I'm letting my impressions
Get the better of me

I can't take it any longer
I need you baby

You know time passes so slowly
When you're far away
This is the last time that
I leave you this way

Sometimes I stop and wonder why
I'm spending every night alone
Just killing time
But I guess that's just the price you pay
Oh but it feels like I'm wishing my life away

Time passes so slowly
When you're far away
This is the last time that
I leave you this way
