The Passage

Lyrics

[verse]
Another tick of the clock hand
A turn of the calendar page
Life sweeping by like a rushing river
Another wrinkle in the Mirror of the Ages

[verse]
They say, “Time flies when you’re havin’ fun”
But it’s funny how I don’t recall much laughter

[pre-chorus]
It’s been years of routine
Broken promises and dreams
Aching for something
I can’t seem to reach

[chorus]
Can you take me
To a better time
Where my heart’s full
And the sun shines
Where my bad luck
Has run its last crime
And a stranger’s smile and words are so kind

[verse]
No use in wrestling
With the changes on their way
Over the horizon
Another moment fades away

[pre-chorus]
It’s been years of routine
Broken promises and dreams
Aching for something
I can’t seem to reach

[chorus]
Can you take me
To a better time
Where my heart’s full
And the sun shines
Where my bad luck
Has run its last crime
And a stranger’s smile and words are so kind

[bridge]
They say, “Time flies. Nothing stays the same. Beauty always fades. It’s a brand new day.”

[pre-chorus]
It’s been years of routine
Broken promises and dreams
Aching for something
I just can’t seem to reach

[chorus]
Can you promise me
A better time?
Where my heart’s always full
And the sun always shines
Where my bad luck
Has run out and its done it’s last crime
And a lover’s sweet smell and kind eyes fill my mind.
