All the While

The old saints have come to say goodbye

Not even they can tell me why

The air is growing thin

The walls are closing in

Making me stuck in this lullaby

I don't know how this came about

A loud watch is ticking its sad sermon out

And outside my room

A heavy mist gloom

With shadows running out to be found out

All the while I'm listening for your steps

All the while I'm listening for your steps

And time is my enemy

And time is my enemy

All the while I'm listening for your steps

All the while I'm listening for your steps

And time is my enemy

And time is my enemy tonight

The four seasons play and my curtains fold

My bed's like a rock without the roll

And I never saw an absence or flaw

So big and so rich it just swallows my soul

And I can be cold in the summer heat

And I can be warm in the winter sleet

And I'm burning out

And I'm freezing in

To ostracize memories of everything

All the while I'm listening for your steps

All the while I'm listening for your steps

And time is my enemy

And time is my enemy

All the while I'm listening for your steps

All the while I'm listening for your steps

And time is my enemy

And time is my enemy tonight
