Pantomime

I can be there if you want me I can give you space if you need time Floating away on the breeze Replaying this old pantomime What time did love arrive? When did affection slip out of the room? But we're just two people And what the hell can we do? The stars explode lifetimes away Our lives played out like a shadow play Where did it go time washed away Our lives played out one more matinee I can be strong if you'd let me Not just taking up space and wasting time Good intentions lost at sea Two sinners chasing the sublime What time did love arrive? When did affection slip out of the room? But we're just two people And what the hell can we do? The stars explode lifetimes away Our lives played out like a shadow play Where did it go time washed away Our lives played out one more matinee The stars explode lifetimes away Our lives played out like a shadow play Where did it go time washed away Our lives played out one more matinee
