lyrics

CHORUS:
I shall take the time to see
The time to breathe, the time to be
Every hour that you’re with me
I shall take my time

I have watched the vapour trails
Twist and curl and fade away
All the hopes of those who sail
Oblivious to those who stay

CHORUS

I have watched the smoke that rises
From a starlet’s cigarette
Wisps and waves but no surprises
A melody I can’t forget

I will watch the gentle shadows
Gather softly in the gloom
All the ghosts who came to see us
Take a bow and leave the room

CHORUS
