"Time Passages" by Al Stewart

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 Im not the kind to live in the past
The years run too short and the days too fast
The things you lean on are the things that dont last
Well its just now and then my line gets cast into these
Time passages
Theres something back here that you left behind
Oh time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight

Hear the echoes and feel yourself starting to turn
Dont know why you should feel
That theres something to learn
Its just a game that you play

Well the picture is changing
Now youre part of a crowd
Theyre laughing at something
And the musics loud
A girl comes towards you
You once used to know
You reach out your hand 
But youre all alone, in these
Time passages
I know youre in there, youre just out of sight
Time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight
