ALMOST STEALING TIME

ALMOST STEALING TIME

STILL IN THE VALLEY

THE WIND BLOWS ON THE HILLS

TIME MOVING WITH THE SKY

BLINK AND TEN YEARS GOES RIGHT BY

AS IF YOU WERE STANDING STILL

TEN MORE AND I STILL

HAVEN'T HAD MY FILL

NO GOING BACK NO DO OVERS

ITS ALL STRAIGHT AHEAD

IS WHAT THEY SAID

WE'RE ALREADY IN WE PAID OUR WAY

WE PAVED THE ROAD TO MAKE IT SMOOTH

AN EASY DREAM

TO CARRY TO THE OTHER SIDE

WHEN WE REACH THERE

THE SANDS OF TIME ARE RUNNING FASTER NOW

NOT LIKE IN TIMES OF YORE

ALMOST STANDING STILL

ALMOST STEALING TIME

WISHING YOU WERE ALREADY GONE

BUT INSTEAD YOU FIND

YOU'RE STILL THERE DREAMING

YOU HOLD ON YOU LET GO

OF EVERYTHING YOU HOLD DEAR

A LONELY SEND OFF

AND ITS ALL SO CLEAR

I'M NO LONGER NEEDED HERE

GUESS I WASN'T MEANT TO STAY

DRIFTING FROM HERE TO THERE

OVER MOUNTAINS AND SEA

THROUGH HEAVY WOOD

AND CLEAR STREAMS

THE SILENCE NO MACHINES

NO ONE TALKING IN MY EAR

ONLY WHAT I WAS MEANT TO HEAR

REDISCOVER BRING BACK NEAR

HEALING TIME THEN

I'VE GOT TO FIND SOME ANSWERS

ALMOST STANDING STILL

ITS JUST  ILLUSION

TEN YEARS MORE SLIP BY

IN THE CONFUSION

TEN TRUE SUMMERS THAT COULD OF BEEN

ANYTHING

CAUGHT YOU UNAWARE

IN SOME WAYS YOU'RE STILL THERE

WAITING ALMOST STEALING TIME
