I Can't Stay Long - Lyrics - 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
