The Swing of Things

You say the world's an eventful place

You give me news I don't want to know, oh

You say that I should care

That I should speak my mind

Oh, but how can I speak

Of the world rushing by

With a lump in my throat

And tears in my eyes

Oh, have we come to the point

Of no turning back

Or is it still time to get into the

The swing of things?

Let us walk through this windless city

I'll go on till the winter gets me

Oh, sleep you wrote sleep, my dear

In a letter somewhere

Oh, but how can I sleep

With your voice in my head

With an ocean between us

And room in my bed?

Oh, have I come to the point

Where I'm losing the grip

Or is it still time to get into the

The swing of things?

Oh, when she glows in the dark

And I'm weak by the sight

Of this breathtaking beauty

In which I can hide

Oh, there's a world full out there

Of people I fear

But given time I'll get into the

The swing of things

Yes, when she glows in the dark

And I'm struck by the sight

I know that I'll need this

For the rest of my life

Oh, I know that I'll need this

For the rest of my life

Oh, but I need

You know that I need this, oh

What have I done?

What lies I have told

I've played games with the ones

That rescued my soul

Oh, but I need

Oh, have I come to the point

Where I'm losing the grip

Or is it still time to get into the

The swing of things?
