I wait and wait sleepwalk the hourglass
This way and that the pendulum swings
Yes, there's plenty of time always time left to kill
Does time stand still or hurtle on by?

Let time unwind let all the cogs fall out
Let man's machines collapse and rust
Face down in the dust I'll kiss no other lips
A lifetime of nothing, condemned without you

Been so long here I could die here
Lying by your side
But time won't claim me, time and me only
I'm just killing time

If the sun went out, I wouldn't mind too much
Who needs the days to trouble to fill?
If the moon didn't rise, I wouldn't be upset
Who needs moonshine to cause tears to spill?

I've been so long here I could lie here
Under dying sky
This thirst and hunger holds no wonder
I'm just killing time

I await your return,
There's no other one
