Time Stand Still [Time Machine] Lyrics by Rush

Time Machine 2011: Live In Cleveland

2011

I turn my back to the wind
To catch my breath
Before I start off again
Driven on without a moment to spend
To pass an evening
With a drink and a friend

I let my skin get too thin
I'd like to pause
No matter what I pretend
Like some pilgrim
Who learns to transcend
Learns to live as if each step was the end

(Time, stand still)
I'm not looking back, but I want to look around me now
(Time, stand still)
See more of the people and the places that surround me now
Time, stand still

Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each sensation a little bit stronger

Experience slips away
Experience slips away
Time, stand still

I turn my face to the sun
I close my eyes
I let my defenses down
All those wounds that I can't get unwound

I let my past go too fast
No time to pause
If I could slow it all down
Like some captain
Whose ship runs aground
I can wait until the tide comes around

(Time, stand still)
I'm not looking back, but I want to look around me now
(Time, stand still)
See more of the people and the places that surround me now
Time, stand still

Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each sensation a little bit stronger
Make each impression a little bit stronger
Freeze this motion a little bit longer

The innocence slips away
The innocence slips away
Time, stand still
Time, stand still

I'm not looking back, but I want to look around me now
See more of the people and the places that surround me now
Time, stand still

Summer's going fast, nights growing colder
Children growing up, old friends growing older
Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each sensation a little bit stronger

Experience slips away
Experience slips away
The innocence slips away
