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
