Half an hour is gone and here we belong   Living it so it can't be wrong   'Cos I was born the wrong way round   Growing up while coming down   But I didn't even know this   When you took me by the hand      That you talk ever so lightly   Lately and you walk ever so slowly      I didn't know and I didn't care   What there was that could catch your breath   But a moment gone is a moment caught   And in half an hour I was taught   That I didn't need to know this   When you walked out of the night      That you talk ever so lightly   Lately and you walk ever so slowly      I didn't move and I didn't breath   To be there where you were   I didn't think 'cos I didn't know   That half an hour spent   And all of the days and all of the ways   Will be there when you are gone      'Cos you talk ever so lightly   Lately and you walk ever so slowly      Half an hour's gone and we're still together   Walking now beneath the weather   All the dreams, all the pains   All that's come back again   We don't need to be there   When it comes on, oh, so low      Because you talk ever so lightly   Lately and you walk ever so slowly      Come on this time but not for us   To be there when we're gone   And all of the world and all of the days   Are just half an hour long   And all of the lives of all of the Gods   Will envy us our song      'Cos you talk ever so lightly   Lately and you walk ever so slowly   Yes, you talk ever so lightly, baby
