Time Stand Still

I turn my back to the wind

To catch my breath

Before I start off again

Driven on

without a moment to spend

To pass an evening

with a drink and a friend



I let my skin get too thin

I'd like to pause

No matter what I pretend

Like some pilgrim

Who learns to transcend

Learns to live

As if each step was the end



Time stand still

I'm not looking back

But I want to look around me now

See more of the people

And the places that surround me now



Freeze this moment

A little bit longer

Make each sensation

A little bit stronger

Experience slips away



I turn my face to the sun

Close my eyes

Let my defences down

All those wounds

That I can't get unwound



I let my past go too fast

No time to pause

If I could slow it all down

Like some captain

Whose ship runs aground

I can wait until the tide

Comes around



Make each impression

A little bit stronger

Freeze this motion

A little bit longer

The innocence slips away



Summer's going fast

Nights growing colder

Children growing up

Old friends growing older

Experience slips away
