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
