Johnny Clegg - Always on time lyrics

rate me

<b>Always on time</b> by <i>Johnny Clegg</i><br />Each day is a train thundering down my back

Every moment I'm looking for a new plan of attack

Every night I lie awake listening to the river flow

Time is slipping away

I watch each second of it go

Then you step out smiling in the sun

And I knew that if I waited

You would come

Always on time

Never like the others

Always on the line

Showing your true colours

My true other

You are my true other

I see others run

I even see some of them fly

I'm standing on the earth but I'm thinking of the sky

Where do I belong?

Is there a place here for me?

I don't want to be a passing moment in someone else's dreams

Then you step out smiling in the sun

And I knew that if I waited

You would come

Always on time

Never like the others

Always on the line

Showing your true colours

Always on time

My true other

You are my true other

There's a picture of my loneliness

It's a man on a highway

Walking

There's a picture of my loneliness

It's a boy at the station

Waiting

You are where I want to be

Always on time

Never like the others

Always on the line

Showing your true colours

Always on time

My true lover

You are my true lover

There's a picture of my loneliness

It's a man on the highway

Walking

There's a picture of my loneliness

It's a boy on the station

Waiting
