“Une Pause Dans Le Temps”

A Stop in Time (aka Schmaltz)

Just a little schmaltz in a sad café

Wondering what the time is and passing the time of day

When the one you love is staring into space

And you’re trying to count each single drop of rain


Couldn’t be finer, on a ocean liner

Counting the seagulls, whilst following the sun

I drank my coffee hot and sailed into oblivion

What do you think of that?


Take each little word – tie them round my neck

Was it something that I said?

Shady lanes – starlit nights

I’m not running anymore


Isn’t it like falling without a parachute?

Or jumping off a bridge and never hitting water?

When the one you love is kissing you so soft

It’s a stop in time, no movement of the clock


It’s always there, when you listen to the words

Of each simple love song, you’ve heard somewhere before

And don’t they now just seem to make some sense

We’re all just the same


Take each little word – tie them round my neck

Was it something that I said?

Shady lanes – starlit nights

I’m not running anymore

I’m not running anymore
