Baby's lost time, I know she's mine But things ain't the same no more Used to be close, butter on toast Now I don't feel so sure We used to be so much in time Now we don't even rhyme It seems a crime (It seems a crime) Baby's lost time (Baby's lost time) She can't recall the words One was fine (Verse one was fine) Baby lost time (Baby lost time) Nursery rhyme unheard She threw her chords and way away Her tune is hard to play Ours was a simple song That anyone could sing But she pitched the key Too high for me Baby's lost time, lost reason and rhyme And all sense of harmony (No sense of harmony) An unhappy note that dies in the throat But lives in the heart of me The song we used to play each day How soon it fades away Ours was a simple song That anyone could sing But she pitched the key Too high for me Baby's lost time, lost reason and rhyme And all sense of harmony (No sense of harmony) An unhappy note that dies in the throat But lives in the heart of me The song we used to play each day How soon it fades away The song we used to play each day How soon it fades away Baby's lost time, lost reason and rhyme Away, oh baby, baby, losin' time Away
