lyrics

There used to be a forest
Of sweet dappled green
Now it's a city
Of roaring machines
Where the air is poison
And the streets are mean
That's what happens
When the time slips
In between

Where once was a mountain
That reached for the sky
As wide as forever
And twice as high
Is now grains of sand
Washed by the sea
That's what happens
When the time slips
In between

When the words drip
From your cold lips
And the clock ticks
And the time slips
In between

New paint like sunshine
On the day we came home
Fresh bridal flowers
In the kitchen window
Now the paint is faded
Like an old pair of jeans
That's what happens
When the time slips between

You turn away to look behind
All the places that you've been
But yesterday will steal you blind
Like a fading movie scene

Your smile's the same
As it's always been
As big as the love
That you gave to me
There's silver in your hair
Where the black used to be
That's what happens
When the time slips
In between

I was once a believer
In God up above
A hopeless dreamer
Who trusted in love
Now I don't care
Too much for these things
That's what happens
When the time slips
In between
