Blink

More of the old man
Less of the boy
This place is for watching the faces
Passing on by

Hey my companion
I'll tell you no lies
Those clothes could stand up on their own
And they're picking up flies

I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye

Of all empty places
On the afternoon's cusp
This place will be rocking when I've
Slipped into the dusk

Your name's on my fingers
I'll tell what I must
If I've traced it once I've traced it ten times
Into the dust

I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye

All gone the summer song
The harder you listen
The sooner it's gone
All gone the summer song
The sun's getting colder
It won't be long

One for your ambition
One for my own
All of those great expectations
Pared to the bone

I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
