   It was late in December. The sky turned to snow.
 
 
 All'round  the day was  going down slow. Night, like a river, beginning to flow
 I  felt the beat of  my  mind  go drifting into
 
 
 
 
 time passages.  Years go falling  in the  fading light.
 
 
 
 
 Time passages.  Buy me  a ticket on  the last train home tonight.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   Well, I'm not the kind to live in the past.
 
 
 The  years run too short and the days too fast. The things you lean on are
 things  that don't last.  Well it's just now and then  my line gets cast
 into these
 
 
 
 
 time passages.  There's something back  there that  you left behind.
 
 
 
 
 Time passages.  Buy  me a ticket  on the last train home tonight.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   Hear the echoes and feel yourself starting
 
 
 to  turn. Don't know why you should  feel  that there's something to learn.
  |
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 It's  just a game that you play.
 
 
 Well,  the picture is changing.  Now  you're part of a crowd. They're laughing
 
 
 at  something, the  music's loud.  A girl comes toward you you once used to know.
 You  reach out your hand,  but  you're all alone in those
 
 
 
 
 time passages.  I know you're in there,  you're just  out of sight.
 
 
 
 
 Time passages.  Buy me a ticket  on the  last train home tonight.
