Time Stand Still

I turn my back to the wind

To catch my breath

Before I start off again

Driven on

Without a moment to spend

To pass an evening

With a drink and a friend

I let my skin get too thin

I'd like to pause

No matter what I pretend

Like some pilgrim -

Who learns to transcend -

Learns to live

As if each step was the end

Time stand still -

I'm not looking back

But I want to look around me now

Time stand still -

See more of the people

And the places that surround me now

Time stand still

Freeze this moment a little bit longer

Make each sensation a little bit stronger

Experience slips away

Experience slips away...

Time stand still

I turn my face to the sun

Close my eyes

Let my defences down -

All those wounds

That I can't get unwound

I let my past go too fast

No time to pause -

If I could slow it all down

Like some captain

Whose ship runs aground -

I could wait until the tide comes around

Time stand still -

I'm not looking back

But I want to look around me now

Time stand still -

See more of the people

And the places that surround me now

Freeze this moment a little bit longer

Make each sensation a little bit stronger

Make each impression a little bit stronger

Freeze this motion a little bit longer

The innocence slips away

The innocence slips away...

Time stand still

Time stand still

I'm not looking back

But I want to look around me now

See more of the people

And the places that surround me now

Time stand still!

Summer's going fast -

Nights growing colder

Children growing up -

Old friends growing older

Freeze this moment a little bit longer

Make each sensation a little bit stronger

Experience slips away

Experience slips away

The innocence slips away
