When you're not around
Lately I have found
Time goes crawling like a thirsty man
In desert sand
If you don't believe me
Come on over and see me
Maybe we can make a plan, only then
You would understand

And ooh, there's nothing much here to do
And not much of the day
Left to seize
And ooh, when every last hope falls through
I feel myself falling too
By degrees

There's still the thrill
There always will
Not a hint of fading
Not a worn out thread
You're still a diamond razor
I'd spend all of my days here
And despite the trite and true
It only works when I'm with you

And ooh, there's nothing much here to do
And not much of the day
Left to seize
And ooh, when every last hope falls through
I feel myself falling too
By degrees
