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
