Lyrics

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
