| 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 (It seems a crime)
|
| Baby’s lost time (Baby's lost time)
|
| She can’t recall the words
|
| Verse one was fine (Verse one was fine)
|
| Baby lost time (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 (No 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 (No 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 |
