Jeff Buckley - Killing Time текст песни

(the creatures)

Originally performed by the creatures. jeff performed it live at astoria, london, on january 18 1995.

I wait and wait

Sleepwalk the hourglass

This way and that

The pendulum swings

Yes theres plenty of time

Always time left to kill

Does time stand still

Or hurtle on by?

Let time unwind

Let all the cogs fall out

Let mans machines

Collapse and rust

Face down in the dust

Ill kiss no other lips

A life time of nothing

Condemned without you

Been so long here

I could die here

Lying by your side

But time wont claim me

Time and me only

Im just killing time

If the sun went out

I wouldnt mind too much

Who needs the days

To trouble to fill?

If the moon didnt rise

I wouldnt be upset

Who needs moonshine

To cause tears to spill?

Ive been so long here

I could lie here

Under dying sky

This thirst and hunger

Holds no wonder

Im just killing time

I await your return

Theres no other one
