5 minutes past loneliness The Sandmen It's 5 minutes past loneliness A week since dawn A hundred hours since you were here And life goes on A broken clock, a spark of time The moon eclipse the sun A thousand days to realise The moment you were gone Play the cards and guess the rime Make it/them deal with proper time Deuce is high and ace is low Life is fast but time is slow A week of seven mondays It felt like twice as long And all of them on one day Your shadow lingered on Half past eternity That's when you hear the drums Put your faith in yesterday If tomorrow never comes Play the cards and guess the rime Make it/them deal with proper time Deuce is high and ace is low Life is fast but time is slow It's 5 minutes past loneliness A weak since dawn A hundred hours since you were here And life goes on Half past eternity That's when you hear the drums Put your faith in yesterday If tomorrow never comes Play the cards and guess the rime Make it/them deal with proper time Deuce is high and ace is low Life is fast but time is slow
