Moments Lost In Time

Words: Chris Malme, from the original words by Adam Heath
To the tune of "Teardrops In The Rain" by Adam Heath

Inspired by the motion picture "Blade Runner"
In the middle of a life that he's still living
He finds so little time remains
He must return to the place from where he came
And though he knows he will be hunted
He comes here searching just the same
To find an answer to his questions
Is it such a crime
All he wants is time

        "I've seen such things you'd not believe
         Things of joy and things of pain
         All those moments, they will soon be lost in time
         Just like teardrops in the rain"

I thought the man a villain
Then he saves my life, so strange,
Begins to talk, saying I won't understand
Then in a voice slowly fading
Though his dignity remains
He reaches out for the words he wants to say
Then shuts his eyes
"Time to die"

        "I've seen such things you'd not believe
         Things of joy and things of pain
         All those moments, they will soon be lost in time
         Just like teardrops in the rain"

And as I watch him slowly dying
While the dark skies change to grey
I can't help wonder what it is that makes a man
That light that burned oh so brightly
And made the most of every day
He was as human as the memories he held
That I won't forget
No I won't forget.

        "I've seen such things you'd not believe
         Things of joy and things of pain
         All those moments, they will soon be lost in time
         Just like teardrops in the rain"

        "All those moments ... will be lost in time
         Just like tears ... in the rain"
