The Center Of Time

Somewhere near the center of time
People are standing still
It took them years to get this far
To climb the expanding hill
And the closer they'd get, the slower they'd move
Until they didn't move at all
Frozen now in a state of grace
Just in the nick of time

Somewhere near the center of time
In a murky swirling mass
People are struggling to find their place
To make the moment last
And a statue appears out of the mist
Of two lovers sharing a kiss
As they will until the end the end of time
But the time will never end

And you can try to stop them
And you can try to shun them
And you can try to join them
And become one of them

Somewhere near the center of time
Someone has changed her mind
To take the turn is a terrible task
Takes all the courage she can find
To acknowledge the time
Is to acknowledge your death
That one day you'll breathe your last breath
She chose to live her life in time
Yeah, she chose it just in time

And you can try to stop them
And you can try to shun them
And you can try to join them
And become one of them
