It was late in December,
the sky turned to snow
All around the day was
goin' down slow
Night like a river
beginning to flow
I felt the beat of my
mind go drifting into
Time passages
Years go falling in the
fading light
Time passages
Buy me a ticket on the
last train home tonight
Well, I'm not the kind
to live in the past
The years run too short
and the days too fast
The things you lean on
are things that don't
last
Well, it's just now and
then, my line gets cast
into these
Time passages
There's something back
there that you left
behind
Oh, time passages
Buy me a ticket on the
last train home tonight
Hear the echoes and feel
yourself starting to turn
Don't know why you
should feel that there's
something to learn
It's just a game that
you play
Well, the picture is
changing, now you're
part of a crowd
They're laughing at
something, and the
music's loud
A girl comes towards
you, you once used to
know
You reach out your hand,
but you're all alone in
those
Time passages
I know you're in there,
you're just out of sight
Oh, time passages
Buy me a ticket on the
last train home tonight
