I Can`t Stay Long — текст песни (Ultravox)

I can feel the turning of the tides
Pulling away the night
Like a sheet from over me

In summer time
I dissolve to a beach
And everywhere seems to be
Just a flicker on a silent screen

Because I
I can`t stay long
Let the sky roll on
Just a flicker and the crowd moves on

In winter
Overcoats close in
And the snow tastes of tin
On the steps of any station

I`d like to glide in the long green light
Of a July afternoon
Sliding down a vague conversation

Because I
I can`t stay long
When the moment comes
Just a glance and the glance is gone

Watch closely
As a man with a hat
And a girl with a map
Synchronise with the track
And they go away

I need to drift through all the walls
And let the scenery dissolve
Into some other life

Because I
I can`t stay long
Let the sky roll on
Just a glance and the glance is gone

I
I can`t stay long
When the right time comes
I`ll dissolve
