There are moments in time
That get stuck in your mind
You'll always remember what you were doing and where
When the poles seem to shift
And the world went adrift
They'll stay with you forever, they'll always be there
Now far too many days have passed without you
We've heard far too many words you haven't said
Though more than ever life was all about you
You made us live on memories instead
Who saw the writing on the wall
Who knew this day would end by dawning
How the thunder hit us all
That sad and cold November morning
God must have taken a wrong turn that day
Busy passing time but losing his way
And those moments in time
Without reason or rhyme
By themselves incidental
Lost in daily routine
Watching news on TV
Washing up, making tea
Hardly monumental
Suddenly happen in a dream
Who saw the writing on the wall
Who knew this day would end by dawning
How the thunder hit us all
That sad and cold November morning
God must been in a strange mood that day
Did really want to take the music away
Now far too many words were said about you
We've heard far too many songs you haven't played
For all the things that life won't be without you
But you never realize until too late
Who saw the writing on the wall
Who knew this day would end by dawning
How the thunder hit us all
That sad and cold November morning
Who saw the writing on the wall
Who knew this day would end by dawning
How the thunder hit us all
That sad and cold November morning
God must been in a strange mood that day
Did really want to take the music away
