as I shower and shave
night is growing old
as I recount my days
you simply count
and coldly mark time

this performance in fact
last, and sweetly in vain
so human, dressed and packed

let me entertain you

one more time

you watch it turn
from dark to dawn

you don't seem
to need much sleep

you're unconcerned
day is breaking like a wave

and the water's much too deep

more faithful still
than God or man

quietly you're
clocking me

ordained to fill
a baneful hourglass

without pause and without grief

if Heaven can wait
talk to Fate
give me just
one more day

as you attend
won't you please
won't you bend
won't you stay

this breach

this gold
to airy thinness beat

you watch it turn
from dark to dawn
eyes and lips and hands

I forsake
you will endure
long after we are gone
and these hearts and this wave
will break


if Heaven can wait
talk to Fate

give me just
one more day
as you attend
won't you please
won't you bend
won't you stay
this breach
this gold
to airy thinness beat
you watch it turn
from dark to dawn
eyes and lips and hands
I forsake
you will endure
long after we are gone
and these hearts and this wave
will break
if Heaven can wait
talk to Fate
give me just
one more day
as you attend
won't you please
won't you bend
won't you stay
this breach
this gold
to airy thinness beat
you watch it turn
from dark to dawn
eyes and lips and hands
I forsake

you will endure
long after we are gone
and these hearts and this wave
will break
OHH~Save us now
