-7*-7*  8  -7* 7  -7* -7*
It was late in De-cem-ber, 
-5*  7   -7*   8   8
The sky turned to snow 
 7    -6   -5* -6  -3* 7   7   -6   -5*
All `round the day was go-ing down slow 
  8     8   7 -7* -7*
Night, like a riv-er, 
-3* 7   -7* 8   8
Be-gin-ning to flow 
7  -6  -5*  -6 -7* 7*  7
I felt the beat of my mind 
-6  -5*  -5*-5*-5* -9*  -9  -9 -9
Go drift-ing in-to Time Pas-sa-ges  
  7  -7* -7*  -7* -7*-7*  8  -9*  -10
Years go fall-ing in the fad-ing light  
 -9*  9  7  -7*
Time Pas-sa-ges 
-9*-9*-9*-9* -9*-9*  9
Buy me a tick-et on the 
-7*    9    7  -3*  -5*
last train home to-night 

 8    8  -7*  7  -7* -5*  7  -7*  8   8
Well I`m not the kind to live in the past 
 7    7   -6  -5*  -6 
The years run too short 
-3* -3*  7   -6  -5*
and the days too fast 
 8    8     7  -7* -7*
The things you lean on 
-3*   7    -7*    8    8
are things that don`t last 
 7    7    7   -6  -5*  -6
Well it`s just now and then 
7*  7    -6  -5* -5*-5*
my line gets cast in-to 
 -5*   -9* -7* -7*-7*
these Time Pas-sa-ges 
   7     -7*  -7*   -7*  -7*
There`s some-thing back there 
 -7* -7*  8  -9* -10
that you left be-hind 
-9* -9*  9  7  -7*
Oh Time Pas-sa-ges 
-9*-9*-9*-9* -9*-9*  9
Buy me a tic-ket on the 
-7*    9    7   -3* -5*
last train home to-night 

-9*  -9* -9*  9* -8   -8  -7*   7*
Hear the ech-oes and feel your-self 
  7*  -7* -8  -7*
start-ing to turn 
 -9*   -9* -9*  9*   -8    -8
Don`t know why you should feel, 
-7*     7*    7*   -7*  -8  -9*
that there`s some-thing to learn 
-9*   -9 -9* -9*  7    7*  -7*
It`s just a game that you play 

Well the picture is changing, 
now you`re part of a crowd 
They`re laughing at something, 
the music`s loud 
A girl comes towards you,
 you once used to know 
You reach out your hand, 
but you`re all alone 
in those Time Passages 
I know you`re in there 
you`re just out of sight 
Oh Time Passages 
Buy me a ticket on the 
last train home to-night
