Slips of time, Stolen by, The frustrating cry of empty space. Just 3 words, just 3 breaks, The clock ticks by, I see your face. Skin for every pocketed minute, A strand of hair for each delayed train, A minute here, A minute there, An hour lost in anywhere. Slips of time, Stolen by, A friend from a better place. You're with me always in places I refuse to see, Teaching me to tune a better melody.
