Im half remembered halfway across the world twice removed from my second home the shadow of a ghost in an old heart with a lease on life cause i cant afford to own when being young starts getting old a new place, same face or so im told ill be the new kid on an old block a chalk outline on a playground blacktop
Chorus I’m just a moment so dont let me pass you by we could be a story in the morning but we’ll be a legend tonight Im just a moment so don’t let me pass you by they can speak our names in a dead language cause you and I, we’re alive but just for a moment.
I’m twice the man that I thought I was yesterday Half the time I’m a world away A flicker of a soul casting silhouettes on the face of a town that could not get me to stay and when the spark’s gone for the lovers just looking for a bus to throw me under
I’ll be the new kid on an old block A chalk outline on a playground blacktop
I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by we could be a story in the morning but we’ll be a legend tonight I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by They can speak our names in a dead language cause you and I we’re alive But just for a moment, just for a moment.
When being young starts getting old a new place, same face or so I’m told I’ll be the new kid on an old block A chalk outline on a playground blacktop
I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by we could be a story in the morning but e a legend tonight I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by they can speak our names in a dead language cause you and I, we’re alive but just for a moment.
