The Town That Time Forgot

In the town that time forgot When you lose a little, you lose a lot And what it is, it is not He had left before the dawn Erasing any lines they had drawn Unknowing she'd already gone Unknown as a man of parts Without a master of the arts The game is lost before it starts In the town that time forgot When you lose a little, you lose a lot And what it is, it is not He had heard an audience applaud But with his only hope outlawed The chances slim, the chasm broad The last bell tolled, the curtain fell The libertine, the infidel Were in a hypnotic spell In the town that time forgot When you lose a little, you lose a lot And what it is, it is not And the wind keeps blowing They say it's gonna bring a change Fear of God is knowing It's always gonna be the same Gone without a trace Into the walls of time Shadows move apace in pantomime Something in this place I can redraw every line And still feel lost looking for a sign I've never seen her face I was always a step behind Or maybe she's here now and I'm just blind Or maybe she's here now and I'm just blind
