Killing Time [originally by The Creatures]

I wait and wait sleepwalk the hourglass
This way and that the pendulum swings
Yes there's plenty of time
Always time left to kill
Does time stand still or hurtle on by?

Let time unwind let all the cogs fall out
Let mans machines collapse and rust
Face down in the dust
I'll kiss no other lips
A life time of nothing condemned without you

Been so long here i could die here
Lying by your side but time won't claim me
Time and me only i'm just killing time

If the sun went out
I wouldn't mind too much who needs the days
To trouble to fill? If the moon didn't rise
I wouldn't be upset who needs moonshine
To cause tears to spill?

I've been so long here i could lie here
Under dying sky this thirst and hunger
Holds no wonder i'm just killing time

I await your return there's no other one
