Lyrics

[00:23.84] You say the world's an eventful place
[00:26.51]
[00:30.13] You give me news
[00:31.09] I don't want to know
[00:32.85]
[00:36.17] You say that I should care
[00:40.06] That I should speak my mind
[00:42.97]
[00:47.89] Oh, but how can I speak of the world
[00:52.44] Rushing by
[00:54.09] With a lump in my throat
[00:57.30] And tears in my eyes
[01:00.02] Oh, have we come to the point of no turning back
[01:06.22] Or is it still time to get into
[01:11.32] The swing of things
[01:12.96]
[01:24.72] Let us walk through this windless city
[01:31.14] I'll go on till the winter gets me
[01:37.14] Oh, "sleep..." you wrote "sleep, my dear"
[01:41.12] In a letter somewhere
[01:44.24]
[01:48.94] Oh, but how can I sleep with your
[01:52.86] voice in my head
[01:55.17] With an ocean between us
[01:58.18] And room in my bed
[02:01.00] Oh, have I come to the point where I'm losing the grip
[02:07.30] Or is it still time to get into
[02:11.29] The swing of things
[02:14.04]
[02:27.63] Oh, when she glows in the dark
[02:31.18] And I'm weak by the sight
[02:34.39] Of this breathtaking beauty
[02:38.10] In which I can hide
[02:40.05] Oh, there's a worldful out there
[02:43.91] Of people I fear
[02:46.43] But given time I'll get into
[02:51.46] The swing of things
[02:52.68] Yes, when she glows in the dark and
[02:56.29] I'm struck by the sight
[02:59.73] I know that I'll need this for the rest of my life
[03:15.35] I know
[03:18.66] I'll need
[03:22.02] the rest of my life
[03:29.75] oh... what I'll need
[03:35.56] you know that I need
[03:41.58]
[03:43.86] What have I done
[03:46.33] What lies I have told
[03:49.29] I've played games with the ones that
[03:53.28] rescued my soul
[03:55.15] Oh, have I come to the point where I'm losing the grip
[04:01.49] Or is it still time to get into
[04:05.41] The swing of things
[04:08.81]
