It was late in December. The sky turned to snow.
Bb Cm Bb Ab Eb Bb/Eb Gm Ab
All'round the day was going down slow. Night, like a river, beginning to flow
Bb Cm Bb Ab
I felt the beat of my mind go drifting into
Eb Bb/Eb Ab/Eb Eb Bb Cm F
time passages. Years go falling in the fading light.
Eb Bb/Eb Ab/Eb Bb Ab Gm Bb
Time passages. Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight.

things that don't last. Well it's just now and then my line gets cast
into these
Eb Bb/Eb Ab/Eb Eb Bb Cm F
time passages. There's something back there that you left behind.
Eb Bb/Eb Ab/Eb Bb Ab Gm Bb
Time passages. Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight.
Eb Bb/Eb| Ab/Eb|Eb Bb|Gm7 Ab| Cb Abm6/Cb
Hear the echoes and feel yourself starting
Eb Cb Abm6/Cb Cm F
to turn. Don't know why you should feel that there's something to learn.

It's just a game that you play.
Eb Bb/Eb Gm Ab
Well, the picture is changing. Now you're part of a crowd. They're laughing
Bb Cm Bb Ab Eb Bb/Eb Gm Ab
at something, the music's loud. A girl comes toward you you once used to know.
Bb Cm Bb Ab
You reach out your hand, but you're all alone in those
Eb Bb/Eb Ab/Eb Eb Bb Cm F
time passages. I know you're in there, you're just out of sight.
Eb Bb/Eb Ab/Eb Bb Ab Gm Bb
Time passages. Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight.

repeat and fade......
