Killing Time

I wait and wait... sleepwalk the hourglass

This way and that... the pendulum swings

Yes, there's plenty of time... always time left to kill

Does time stand still or hurtle on by?

Let time unwind... let all the cogs fall out

Let man's machines collapse and rust

Face down in the dust... I'll kiss no other lips

A lifetime of nothing, condemned without you

Been so long here... I could die here

Lying by your side

But time won't claim me, time and me only

I'm just killing time

If the sun went out, I wouldn't mind too much

Who needs the days to trouble to fill?

If the moon didn't rise, I wouldn't be upset

Who needs moonshine to cause tears to spill?

I've been so long here... I could lie here

Under dying sky

This thirst and hunger holds no wonder

I'm just killing time

I await your return,

There's no other one
