5 Minutes Past Loneliness

5 minutes past loneliness
 The Sandmen
 it's 5 minutes past loneliness
 a week since dawn
 a hundred hours since you were here
 and life goes on
 a broken clock, a spark of time
 the moon eclipse the sun
 a thousand days to realise
 the moment you were gone
 play the cards and guess the rime
 make it/them deal with proper time
 deuce is high and ace is low
 life is fast but time is slow
 a week of seven mondays
 it felt like twice as long
 and all of them on one day
 your shadow lingered on
 half past eternity
 that's when you hear the drums
 put your faith in yesterday
 if tomorrow never comes
 play the cards and guess the rime
 make it/them deal with proper time
 deuce is high and ace is low
 life is fast but time is slow
 it's 5 minutes past loneliness
 a weak since dawn
 a hundred hours since you were here
 and life goes on
 half past eternity
 that's when you hear the drums
 put your faith in yesterday
 if tomorrow never comes
 play the cards and guess the rime
 make it/them deal with proper time
 deuce is high and ace is low
 life is fast but time is slow
