The sun is low on the horizon
And soon I’ll be heading home
Still I stand and watch the moon rising
I just need some time alone
The sky is dancing on the water
There to catch me as I fall
Drifting free or sinking like a stone
I just need some time alone
I need some time alone
Time to see what I’ve been shown
Clear my head and heal my aching bones
I just need some time alone
The city slowly catching fire
As I reap what I have sown
Losing ground, the flames are getting higher
I just need some time alone
I haven’t found it yet
The peace to free me of this sorrow
I’m trying to forget
You can’t lead me home
A face is fading in the mirror
Steam is rising from below
Through the fog, the light is getting clearer
I just need some time alone
I need some time alone
Lock the door and kill the phone
Clear my head and heal my aching bones
I just need some time alone

Childsplay (Side B)

We were high on the palisade
Waters crashed below
Collecting precious dreams and secrets only we could know
The price for what was next was waiting
But time was not our only friend
And soon our time was done
You grabbed my hand, kicked up your heels and we both began to run
Where we running to? No Saying
When I run with you, I run for my life
Through endless days and endless nights
And in the end I pray you’ll be my wife
Our cliff was now a valley
And our friends were now all fiends
We were waging battle as our fellow martyrs screamed
What they were screaming for? No Saying
We left the war behind us
And we huddled in the grass
As my arm brushed up against your skin we both began to laugh
Our bodies on the ground were swaying
Swaying
In a world we made up for ourselves
Where there is room for us and no one else
As the falling day cut through your eye
And molten rows burned up the sky
You leaned into me and you said: “Goodbye,
I’m off but thanks again for playing”
When I run with you, I run for my life
Through endless days and endless nights
And in the end I pray you’ll be my wife
