heather nova - you left me a song lyrics

out of the glitter and the shine,
out of the corner of my eye,
saw you walk in, i freezed the frame,
my luck again.
we could have been strangers if we tried
moved to the rhythm side by side,
maybe a glance across the room,
blue moon

why do the hours burn so long?
sunset and shadows call,
i hear the music playing on
i know you're gone but you
you left me a song

under the skylight after dark,
crept in to find you, what a lark
we were like children stripping down,
the joy we found.
but even the lights that turn me on
make it so hard to see beyond;
make it a rainbow in my mind
- this borrowed time

why do the hours burn so long?
sunset and shadows call
i hear the music playing on
i know you're gone, but you
you left me a song
you left me a song
you left me a song
