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
A nd 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
But we don't need to be there
When it comes on oh so low

Cos 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
