Music by Lee McAboy, Lyrics by Sheila Kaufman
As the day drifts away
the sun begins setting
and the clock just keeps ticking
and the waves just keep rolling to the blue.
As I look at the sky
clouds keep on drifting
and the birds keep on flying
and my heart keeps on sighing over you.
Why can't you be here with me?
Why can't you be in my arms
Safe and warm
like I always believed we would be,
shelt'ring each other from harm.
But now that's all gone wrong.
But the day drifts away,
the sun begins setting
and the clock just keeps ticking
and the waves just keep rolling as they will.
I keep watching the sky,
colors start turning
and the moon starts a-rising
and my heart just keeps yearning for you still.
Last time I saw you
You were walking away
and the words just weren't coming
to ask you to stay.
But the clock is still ticking
and my heart is still beating
and my mind just keeps turning
back to you
back to you
back to you
As the day drifts away
rain begins falling
and the clock just keeps ticking
and the moon just keeps rising into view.
As I look at the sky
clouds keep on drifting
and the birds are all hiding
and my thoughts keep on gliding back to you.
Nothing's the same without you.
Nothing's the same and I know
it is so, but I can't think of what I could do.
If wishing could just make it so,
then you'd know
I want you.
(back in my arms again)
It's the end of the day.
The skies have all darkened,
but the clock goes on ticking
and the birds have all harkened out of view.
A few stars start to shine,
but the clouds have them covered,
and I have discovered
that I'll never stop thinking about you.
And I have discovered
that I'll never stop thinking about you.
And the clock just keeps ticking.
And I just haven't gotten over you.
