Playing For Time (Bright-Side Mix)

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

Oh, all the moments come and go

While the memories ebb and flow

And play again, play again

Oh, there's a hill that we must climb

Climb through all the mist of time

It's all in here, what we've been through

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

There goes the sun, back from where it came

The young move to the centre, the mum and dad, the frame

Any space, any time

Any moment that we bring to life, ridiculous, sublime

Oh, all the moments come and go

While the memories ebb and flow

And play again, play again

Oh, there's a hill that we must climb

Climb through all these mists of time

It's all in here, what we've been through

Down, getting it down

Sorting it out so everything I care about

Is held in here

All of those I love, inside

The future shines a sunny day

Unpacked memories stored away

All the while the clock keeps ticking

You and I still playing for time

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

Everybody's playing for time

Everyone's still playing for time

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

They're all too busy playing for time

Everybody's playing for time

You and I still playing for time
