Lyrics

While I shower and shave
Night is growing old
As I recount my days
You simply count and coldly mark time
This performance in fact last
And sweetly in vain
So human, dressed and packed
Let me entertain you one more time
You watch it turn from dark to dawn
You don't seem to need much sleep
You're unconcerned day is breaking like a wave
And the water is much too deep
More faithful still than God or man
Quietly you're clocking me
Ordained to fill a baneful hourglass
Without pause and without grief
If heaven can wait
Talk to fate
Give me just one more day
As you attend
Won't you please
Won't you bend
Won't you stay
This bleach
This grown to airiness beat
You watch it turn from dark to dawn
Eyes and lips and hands I forsake
You will endure long after we are gone
And these hearts and this wave will break
If heaven can wait
Talk to fate
Give me just one more day
As you attend
Won't you please
Won't you bend
Won't you stay
This bleach
This grown to airiness beat
You watch it turn from dark to dawn
Eyes and lips and hands I forsake
You will endure long after we are gone
And these hearts and this wave will break
Who'll save us now?
Who'll save us now?
Who'll save us now?
Who'll save us now?
