Al Stewart Song On The Radio Lyrics

Song On The Radio Lyrics

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
