baby's lost time

baby's lost time

i know she's mine

but things ain't the same no more

used to be close

butter on toast

now i don't feel so sure

we used to be so much in time

now we don't even rhyme

it seems a crime

baby's lost time

she can't recall the words

verse one was fine

baby lost time

nursery rhyme unheard

she threw her chords and way away

her tune is hard to play

ours was a simple song

that anyone could sing

but she pitched the key

too high for me

baby's lost time

lost reason and rhyme

and all sense of harmony

an unhappy note that dies in the throat

but lives in the heart of me

the song we used to play each day

how soon it fades away

ours was a simple song

that anyone could sing

but she pitched the key

too high for me

baby's lost time

lost reason and rhyme

and all sense of harmony

an unhappy note that dies in the throat

but lives in the heart of me

the song we used to play each day

how soon it fades away

the song we used to play each day

how soon it fades away

baby's lost time

lost reason and rhyme

away

oh baby

baby

losin' time

away
