[Verse 1]

Walking down a road hedged with roses

Time stands still forever

Somewhere in the shadows hiding

Sits an old man laughing

(Ha ha ha ha ha)

[Verse 2]

Talking to the wind I drank the beauty

I found no time to count the hours

Even though I do my best

Sometimes I get to thinking

But it really don't amount to much, no

[Chorus]

Window shades are securely drawn

Childish patter is heard no more

Papers lay strewn upon the lawn

And there's nobody home next door

No one

[Bridge]

Was that what you meant

When you said I, I should stay at home?

Was that what you thought

When I left you on your own?

Woah woah-woah woah

(Da la da, da la da, da la da)

[Verse 3]

I turned to my guide but just as I feared

The preaching began so I disappeared

To a tiny door with a golden sign

That magic place of great renown

[Outro]

Only lines on our four-day minds

Only rags for our blinds

You know that bare boards and paper walls

They don't make any sense

When there's only

Time to kill
