5 Minutes Past Loneliness

It's 5 minutes past loneliness

It's a week since dawn

A hundred hours since you were here

And life goes on

A broken clock, a spark of time

The moon eclipsed the sun

A thousand days to realise

The moment you were gone

Play the cards and guess the rhyme

Make a deal with Father Time

Deuces high and aces low

Life is fast but time is slow

A week of seven Mondays

It felt like twice as long

And all of them on one day

Your shadow lingered on

Half past eternity

That's when you hear the drums

Put your faith in yesterday

If tomorrow never comes

Play the cards and guess the rhyme

Make a deal with Father Time

Deuces high and aces low

Life is fast but time is slow

5 minutes past loneliness

It's a week since dawn

A hundred hours since you were here

And life goes on

Half past eternity

That's when you hear the drums

Put your faith in yesterday

If tomorrow never comes

Play the cards and guess the rhyme

Make a deal with Father Time

Deuces high and aces low

Life is fast but time is slow

Play the cards and guess the rhyme

Make a deal with Father Time

Deuces high and aces low

Life is fast but time is slow
