I can feel the turning of the tides
Pulling away the night
Like a sheet from over meIn summer time, I dissolve to a beach
And everywhere seems to be
Just a flicker on a silent screenBecause I, I can't stay long
Let the sky roll on
Just a flicker and the crowd moves onIn winter overcoats close in
And the snow tastes of tin
On the steps of any stationI'd like to glide in the long green light
Of a July afternoon
Sliding down a vague conversationBecause I, I can't stay long
When the moment comes
Just a glance and the glance is goneWatch closely as a man with a hat
And a girl with a map synchronize with the track
And they go awayI need to drift through all the walls
And let the scenery dissolve
Into some other lifeBecause I, I can't stay long
Let the sky roll on
Just a glance and the glance is goneI, I can't stay long
When the right time comes
I'll dissolve
