  • Where'd all the time go?
    It's starting to fly
    See how the hands go
    Waving goodbye
    And you know I get so forgetful
    When I look in your eyes

    Now she's walking backwards (now she's walking backwards)
    Through a parade (parade)
    And I'm stuck in the shadow (I'm stuck in the shadow)
    Blocking the shade (shade)
    And there ain't no way to sweep up
    The mess that we've made

    She gets dressed up like a pillow
    So she's always in bed
    Flowers for the sick and dead
    She's on the go, way too fast and way too slow
    She'll turn to stone at hospitals and funeral homes
    And when the fog rises
    Somebody sighs who is not in disguise anymore

    There's nothing to keep you (nothing to keep you)
    From falling in love
    It starts at the bottom (it starts at the bottom)
    And comes from above
    Like pieces of a puzzle
    Like a hand in a glove

    She gets dressed up like a pillow
    So she's always in bed
    Flowers for the sick and dead
    She's on the go, way too fast and way too slow
    She'll turn and stop at hospitals and funeral homes
    And when the tide rises
    Somebody sinks and is gone in the blink of an eye

    Somebody sinks and is gone in the blink of an eye Writer/s: SCOTT MCMICKEN, TOBY LEAMAN
