Lyrics Taking Back My Time - Midge Ure, Stephen Emmer

Taking Back My Time

And I will walk away
leave the weight you laid on me for so long
and give it back where it belongs
I wish you well a thousand times to leave it all behind
I’m taking back my time
Time to take a little time
to see what lies ahead for us,
but nothing comes to mind
Only writings on the wall of empty words and hollow sounds
And empty says it all
And I will walk away
leave the weight you laid on me for so long
and give it back where it belongs
I wish you well a thousand times to leave it all behind
I’m taking back my time
Helpless and stranded how you want me to stay
It’s not enough to be your plaything
See your plaything walking away
And I will walk away and
leave the weight you laid on me for so long
take it back where it belongs
I wish you well a thousand times
and leave it all behind
I’m taking back my time
I hear the words of songs that made us cry
Taking back my time
