* If time were not a moving thing and I can make it stay
This hour of love we share would always be
There'd be no coming day to shower morning 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 overland
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
Oh there might have been a way somehow I have to force myself
To say its over


So I turn my back, I turn my collar to the wind
Move along in silence trying not to think at all
I see my feet before me walk the silent street before me
Now its over


* Repeat
It's over
