Time Floats Away

Time Floats Away
(Peter McEvilley ASCAP, McEvilley Publishing ASCAP)

Chorus
Time floats away from me
Slowly slips away
You might know what you won’t find
But you always got today

Verse 1
Faded wood on worn out floors
The keys keep changing on these doors
And the years pass, like a camera’s flash
They come on strong but they never last
Help me make some sense of this
Help me understand

Chorus
Time floats away from me
Slowly slips away
You might know what you won’t find
But you always got today

Verse 2
Strange sounds and lonely nights
The empty glass and all it might
Find someday, but it’s okay
I start to see so I look the other way
Help me make some sense of this
Help me understand

Chorus
Time floats away from me
Slowly slips away
You might know what you won’t find
But you always got today

Verse 3
Fireplace with candle burns
Each one comes we take our turns
To find inside that something more
A tired rug thrown by the door
Help me make some sense of this
Help me understand

Chorus B
Come fill my emptiness
Alone up on a shelf
Locked up in your attempts
To free you from yourself
Come fill my emptiness
Alone up on a shelf
Locked up in your attempts
To free you from yourself
Free you from yourself
