It was late in December, the sky turned to snow   All round the day was going down slow   Night like a river beginning to flow   I felt the beat of my mind go   Drifting into time passages   Years go falling in the fading light   Time passages   Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight   Well I'm not the kind to live in the past   The years run too short and the days too fast   The things you lean on are the things that don't last   Well it's just now and then my line gets cast into these   Time passages   There's something back here that you left behind   Oh time passages   Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight      Hear the echoes and feel yourself starting to turn   Don't know why you should feel   That there's something to learn   It's just a game that you play      Well the picture is changing   Now you're part of a crowd   They're laughing at something   And the music's loud   A girl comes towards you   You once used to know   You reach out your hand   But you're all alone, in these   Time passages   I know you're in there, you're just out of sight   Time passages   Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight
