Playing For Time

[Intro] [Verse 1] Far far away out amongst the stars There’s a planet spinning slowly We call it ours any time    any day    Any moment that we bring to life Will never fade away [Pre-Chorus] Oh      oh the moments come and go While the memories ebb and flow Play again play again Oh      there’s a hill that we must climb Climb toward the mist of time It’s all in here what we’ve been through [Chorus] Down     I’m getting it down     Sorting it out So everything I care about is held in here All of those I love inside   Everybody’s playing for time You and I still playing for time [Verse 2] Thеre goes the sun  back from whеre it came The young move to the center The mom and dad the frame Any space  any time   Any moment that we bring to life Ridiculous sublime [Pre-Chorus] Oh      oh the moments come and go While the memories ebb and flow Play again play again Oh      there’s a hill that we must climb Climb toward the mist of time It’s all in here what we’ve been through [Chorus] Down     getting it down     Sorting it out So everything I care about Is held in here All of those I love Inside   Oh oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh   Oh oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh [Bridge]   The future shines a sunny day   Unpacked memories stored away   All the while the clock keeps ticking   You and I still playing for time [Verse 3] One by one the voices silenced For they know that time will tell It’s time that wears the crown And time that rings the bell    All cards on the table All hands are down [Chorus]   Everybody’s playing for time   Everyone’s still playing for time [Verse 4]   Looking for a flicker in the face of the clock   Hidden in the mountain in the body of the rock   No one seems to notice or to feel the aftershock [Chorus]   They’re all too busy playing for time   Everybody’s playing for time   You and I still playing for time
