"A Piece Of Time" Lyrics

They say not to judge a soul
'Til you've walked a mile in their shoes
Run the water 'til the bathtub's full
And let my mind drift away from you

The clock stops ticking
The clock stops ticking

[chorus:]
You stole my heart, you drowned my mind
Now you want to break a piece of time
Chasing your dream 'til the city lights few
I'll be damned if I never get through

But I will
But I will

Take away the canvas; the painter perplexed
Lived a million years and expected nothing less
A fascinating lover to kiss and to tell
All of the while I'm under his spell

The clock stops ticking
The clock stops ticking

[chorus:]
You stole my heart, you drowned my mind
Now you want to break a piece of time
Chasing your dream 'til the city lights few
I'll be damned if I never get through

How do you expect me to live alone?
Sitting here in an empty home
All of my memories lie on this moonlit path
One more second & there's no going back

Time starts fading
I'm still waiting

[chorus:]
You stole my heart, you drowned my mind
Now you want to break a piece of time
Chasing your dream 'til the city lights few
I'll be damned if I never get through

I'm still waiting
