Welcome winter of the warmest kind
tie a weight to my ankles and throw me in
and leave your troubled thoughts behind
here and now and gone again

it's a cruel joke that someone might play
where they give you something then take it back
everything happens for a reason you say
well I sure hope you're right about that

oh yeah
alright

waiting here is all I know
I'm holding on, holding on
an airport phone call
and a gas station rose
I drove you to the train and I watched you go
time
you slow down time
you slow down time
when you're away

what I feel I wish I knew
and all that I can't let go
I'm a little shy on the follow through
but let me tell you something you don't know
can I tell you something you don't know

well I've got a penny or two I'm willing to give up
for one or two of your thoughts
meanwhile the world goes on
just ing and pacing the time away
ing and pacing the time away
ing and pacing my time
my time

waiting here is all I know
I'm holding on, holding on
an airport phonecall
and a gas station rose
I drove you to the train and I watched you go
time,
you slow down time
you slow down, time
when you're away
