If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
This hour of love we share would always beThere'd be no coming day
To shine a morning light
To make us realize our night is overWhen you walk away from me
There is no place to put my hand
Except to shade my eyes
Against the sun that rises over the landI watch you walk away
Somehow if have to let you go
Now it's overIf you knew just how I really feel
You might return and yet
There are so many times
That people have to love and then forgetThough there might have been a way
I have to force myself to say
It's overSo I turn my back
Turn my collar to the wind
Move along in silence
Trying not to think at allI send my feet before me
Walk the silent street before me
It's overIf time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
This hour of love we share would always beThere'd be no coming day
To shine a morning light
To make us realize our night is overIt's over
