If time were not a movin' thing

And I could make it stay

This hour of love we share would always be

There'd be no coming day to shine a mornin' light

Make us realise our night

Is over



When you walk away from me

There is no place to put my hand

Except to shade my eyes

Against the sun that rises o'er the land

I watch you walk away somehow

I have to let you go

Now it's over



If you knew just how I really feel

You might return and yet

There are so many times

That people have to love and then forget

There might have been a way somehow

I have to force myself

To say it's over



So I turn my back

I turn my collar to the wind

Move along in silence tryin' not to think at all

I send my feet before me

Walk the silent street before me

Now it's over

It's over
