The Hour That Slipped Away

 The Hour That Slipped Away

​

If I could still say

All the words my heart whispers low...

Too late in the night now

To wake you up, to let it show...

Silence in the darkness

Keeps walking through my mind, oh slow...

They say it’s never too late…

Yeah, but we just never know...

​[Verse 2]

I didn’t take the time

But I thought I had so much more...

One thing leads to another

Now silence fills the floor...

I could’ve said it, baby

But the days just slipped away...

Hours keep on running

And we keep saying “tomorrow”… today...

​[Chorus]

Time just stole my words…

Left me with the things I never said...

Too late now, too damn late

All those echoes in my head...

Too late… oh too late…

If I could turn back time somehow...

But silence took your place

And it’s all that’s left now...

​[Bridge (spoken / broken phrasing)]

If I could slow it down…

Just one moment more...

Turn the world around…

Like it was before...

But no… no…

Too late now…

​[Verse 3]

If we only knew

What tomorrow’s gonna take away...

This race against the clock

Steals everything we never say...

My only mistake…

Was thinking time was on my side...

Now silence is the only thing

That stayed… when you said goodbye...

​[Outro]

Too late…

Too late…

Silence… took your place...
