LYRIC:

Time and time again within my solitude
She's there as if it were that very night
Her cotton gingham gown floats frail and free
And fabulous as petrol on the sea
The sheer destruction of a beam of light

          Time and time again, time and time again
          And time again within my solitude
          Time and time and time and time again
          Time and time again

There and then again I learn my loneliness
Has linked me with a life I'll never share
The ways that she was lovely must remain
Unnumbered as the spaces in the rain
They fill my thoughts as sunrise floods the air

          Time and time again, time and time again
          And time again within my solitude
          Time and time and time and time again
          Time and time again

Now and now alone I search my memory
I lacked the time to think about her then
But now she leaves me time and time again

          Time and time again, time and time again
          And time again within my solitude
          Time and time and time and time again
          Time and time again
