Time After Time Lyrics

Artist: Cyndi Lauper
Album: Time After Time

Time After Time
Cyndi Lauper

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
and think of you
caught up in circles confusion--
is nothing new
Flashback--warm nights--
almost left behind
suitcases of memories,
time after--

sometimes you picture me--
I'm walking too far ahead
you're calling to me, I can't hear
what you've said--
Then you say--go slow--
I fall behind--
the second hand unwinds

chorus:
if you're lost you can look--and you will find me
time after time
if you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
time after time

after my picture fades and darkness has
turned to gray
watching through windows--you're wondering
if I'm OK
secrets stolen from deep inside
the drum beats out of time--

chorus:
if you're lost...

you said go slow--
I fall behind
the second hand unwinds--

chorus:
if you're lost...
...time after time
time after time
time after time
time after time

Maybe the best song she ever wrote and certainly the one she has gotten the most mileage out of. Her best version of it seems to be solo with only mountain dulcimer (4 strg.) I heard her do it in an acoustic concert and it just floored me. I never realized how deep and pleading with love it was. I guess it just proves that a composer can write tons of tunes and then one just nails it.
