Time Stand Still Lyrics – A Show Of Hands

Lyrics: Time Stand Still
Album: A Show Of Hands
Artist: Rush
 

Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson

I turn my back to the wind
To catch my breath,
Before i start off again
Driven on,
Without a moment to spend
To pass an evening
With a drink and a friend

I let my skin get too thin
I’d like to pause,
No matter what i pretend
Like some pilgrim —
Who learns to transcend —
Learns to live
As if each step was the end

Time stand still —
I’m not looking back
But i want to look around me now
See more of the people
And the places that surround me now

Freeze this moment
A little bit longer
Make each sensation
A little bit stronger
Experience slips away…

I turn my face to the sun
Close my eyes,
Let my defences down —
All those wounds
That i can’t get unwound

I let my past go too fast
No time to pause —
If i could slow it all down
Like some captain,
Whose ship runs aground —
I can wait until the tide
Comes around

Make each impression
A little bit stronger
Freeze this motion
A little bit longer
The innocence slips away…

Summer’s going fast —
Nights growing colder
Children growing up —
Old friends growing older
Experience slips away…
