Verse 2

In summer time

I dissolve to a beach

And everywhere seems to be

Just a flicker on a silent screen

Verse 3

Because I

I can't stay long

Let the sky roll on

Just a flicker and the crowd moves on

Verse 4

In winter

Overcoats close in

And the snow tastes of tin

On the steps of any station

Verse 5

I'd like to glide in the long green light

Of a July afternoon

Sliding down a vague conversation

Verse 6
C 
Because  (C major) I
I can't stay long
When the moment comes
Just a glance and the glance
G 
 (G major) is gone

Watch  (G major) closely  (C major)  (F major)

F 
As a man with a  (C major) hat  (F major) 
C 
And a girl with a map  (C major) 
F 
G 
 (F major) Synchronise with the track  (G major) 
And they go away
C 
 (C major) I need to drift

Verse 8

through all the walls

And let the scenery dissolve

Into some other life

Verse 9

Because I

I can't stay long

Let the sky roll on

Just a glance and the glance is gone

I can't stay long

When the right time comes
