RUSH - Time Stand Still lyrics
rate meWords by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson<br><br>I turn my back to the wind<br>To catch my breath,<br>Before I start off again<br>Driven on,<br>Without a moment to spend<br>To pass an evening<br>With a drink and a friend<br><br>I let my skin get too thin<br>I'd like to pause,<br>No matter what I pretend<br>Like some pilgrim --<br>Who learns to transcend --<br>Learns to live<br>As if each step was the end<br><br>Time stand still --<br>I'm not looking back<br>But I want to look around me now<br>See more of the people<br>And the places that surround me now<br><br>Freeze this moment<br>A little bit longer<br>Make each sensation<br>A little bit stronger<br>Experience slips away...<br><br>I turn my face to the sun<br>Close my eyes,<br>Let my defences down --<br>All those wounds<br>That I can't get unwound<br><br>I let my past go too fast<br>No time to pause --<br>If I could slow it all down<br>Like some captain,<br>Whose ship runs aground --<br>I can wait until the tide<br>Comes around<br><br>Make each impression<br>A little bit stronger<br>Freeze this motion<br>A little bit longer<br>The innocence slips away...<br><br>Summer's going fast --<br>Nights growing colder<br>Children growing up --<br>Old friends growing older<br>Experience slips away...
