Half an hour is gone and here we belong

Living it so it can't be wrong 

Cos I was born the wrong way round

Growing up while coming down 

But I didn't even know this

When you took me by the hand



That you 

Talk ever so lightly

Lately 

And you walk 

Ever so slowly



I didn't know and I didn't care

What there was that could catch your breath 

But a moment gone is a moment caught

And in half an hour I was taught 

That I didn't need to know this 

When you walked out of the night 



That you talk ever so lightly 

Lately

And you walk

Ever so slowly



I didn't move and I didn't breath 

To be there where you were

I didn't think cos I didn't know 

That half an hour spent

And all of the days and all of the ways

Will be there when you are gone 



Cos you talk ever so lightly

Lately 

A nd you walk

Ever so slowly



Half an hour's gone and we're still together 

Walking now beneath the weather

All the dreams, all the pains 

All that's come back again 

But we don't need to be there

When it comes on oh so low 



Cos you talk ever so lightly

Lately

And you walk 

Ever so slowly



Come on this time but not for us

To be there when we're gone

And all of the world and all of the days 

Are just half an hour long 

And all of the lives of all of the gods 

Will envy us our song 



Cos you talk ever so lightly

Lately

And you walk 

Ever so slowly
