http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UTFHwTKWawU<\/a>\n<\/p>Rush \u2013 Time Stand Still<\/p>\n
I turn my back to the wind<\/p>\n
To catch my breath<\/p>\n
Before I start off again<\/p>\n
Driven on without a moment to spend<\/p>\n
To pass an evening<\/p>\n
With a drink and a friend.<\/p>\n
I let my skin get too thin<\/p>\n
I\u2019d like to pause<\/p>\n
No matter what I pretend<\/p>\n
Like some pilgrim who learns to transcend<\/p>\n
Learns to live as if each step was the end.<\/p>\n
Time stand still<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not looking back<\/p>\n
But I want to look around me now<\/p>\n
See more of the people<\/p>\n
And the places that surround me now.<\/p>\n
Freeze this moment<\/p>\n
A little bit longer<\/p>\n
Make each sensation<\/p>\n
A little bit stronger<\/p>\n
Experience slips away.<\/p>\n
I turn my face to the sun<\/p>\n
Close my eyes<\/p>\n
Let my defenses down<\/p>\n
All those wounds<\/p>\n
That I can\u2019t get unwound.<\/p>\n
I let my past go too fast<\/p>\n
No time to pause<\/p>\n
If I could slow it all down<\/p>\n
Like some captain<\/p>\n
Whose ship runs aground<\/p>\n
I can wait until the tide<\/p>\n
Comes around.<\/p>\n
Make each impression<\/p>\n
A little bit stronger<\/p>\n
Freeze this motion<\/p>\n
A little bit longer<\/p>\n
The innocence slips away.<\/p>\n
Summer\u2019s going fast<\/p>\n
Nights growing colder<\/p>\n
Children growing up<\/p>\n
Old friends growing older<\/p>\n
Experience slips away.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
