Sometimes I miss the laugh lines How it was last year Peace of mind and days gone by Tired eyes maudlin and snow-blind Walking up Bay Street Show me something I can't deny I've been awake for a lifetime I'm in trepidation always faking I just need time You keep time like a film scene Moments we won't know 'Til they're gone and pass on by Pale lights over the hillside I'll hold you so close While I'm up and you sleep quiet I've been awake for a lifetime I'm in trepidation always faking I just need time I've been awake for a lifetime I'm in trepidation always faking I just need time Last December we were trading goodbyes When snow was falling in the hue of the fire Conversations about our place in the world You're half asleep but I can't stop thinking now Last December we were trading goodbyes When snow was falling in the hue of the fire Conversations about our place in the world You're half asleep but I can't stop thinking now
