Not Even Time To Say Adieu
NOT EVEN TIME TO SAY ADIEU
It's as if all your life you climbed a lighthouse stairs,
Finally, you find that you've arrived there,
At the top,
You stop,
Finding you no longer care.
Round and round the lighthouse we go,
Where we stop nobody knows,
All fall down.
You look over the side down at the ground,
You see a crowd gathering around,
On the nearby beach you hear the waves pound,
It is time to give a speech, say something profound?
But before you have anything to say,
You find the crowd just drifting away.
You don't really know just what to do,
There was not even time to say adieu.
Round and round the lighthouse we go,
Where we stop nobody knows,
All fall down.
Then you find yourself going down the stairs,
Your body starts trembling,
Your flesh falls away,
Your bones fall to the ground.
The tide comes in and carries you away,
Where you are bound who can say?
Not even time to say adieu.
