lyrics

Now the moon is full again
Of the promises we never keep
I want to see your face again
In the still life
In real time

Fast forward your fear
And save what's seen
Pause for effect
And rewind

And your pharaoh heart
(Fast forward your fear)
Will it ever bend
(And save what's seen)
In the shade of the reed
(Pause for effect)
At the river's end
(And rewind)

I want to see
(In time in the waiting room)
Your face this way
(In time I wait on you)
In the still life
(In time in the waiting room)
You move me to you
I'm moving to you too

You move me to you
I'm moving to you too

You move me to you
I'm moving to you too

Face to face again
Beginning and end
Tail to head
And the stars seem like familiar things
That a child brings
While there's still time
And I lose you in the everyday
But there's still time
In the still life

You move me to you
And I move you to it too

In real time
In real time
In real time
In real time
