A Week Of Moments Lyrics - Anderson Ian

A week of moments a clutch of days 

Ten thousand minutes of a Passion Play. 

Medley of quavers informs the tune. 

Its all too much: over all too soon. 

Sweet condensation on chilling wine 

Travelers palm, flamboyant tree 

Fast photos ripped and lost consign 

A week of moments to faint memory. 

A week of moments plucked from the page 

Found far horizons, a sunset stage. 

Suitcases bulge, in silence packed 

A chapter closed: no looking back. 

The lightest touch upon my arm 

No fierce restraint, no call to stay. 

Hushed room maids glide like pawns to king 

With pool attendants in chess piece array.
