It was late in December, the sky turned to snow
All 'round, the day was going 1 slow
Night like a river beginning to flow
I felt the 2 of my mind go drifting into

Time passages
Years go falling in the fading 3
Time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight

Well, I'm not the kind to 4 in the past
The years run too short and the days too fast
The 5 you lean on are things that don't last
Well, it's just now and 6 my line gets cast into these

Time passages
There's something back there that you left behind
Oh, 7 passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight

Hear the echoes and 8 yourself starting to turn
Don't know why you should feel that 9 '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 those

Time passages
I know you're in there, you're just out of sight
Oh, time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight
