Left on the seashore of sleep
Just like the words that wouldn't write
Lost in the desert of time
Time waits for no one at all
You thought you'd seen it all before
You really thought you knew
I don't remember what we said
in the confusion that night
I only know what's on my mind,
what's in the fu ture we will decide by
Time waits for no one at all,
You thought you'd seen it all before,
you really thought you knew
But darling, now I know it,
life could never be the same
Oh no, don't leave me drifting on
Time waits for no one, my love,
You thought you'd seen it all before,
you really thought you knew
I'm waking up, I'm reaching up
I'm getting up from this shame
don't leave me driftin' on the shore
Oh, no, don't leave me driftin' on the shore
