Not For Second Prize

Not For Second Prize
Time itself is bringing down our ride
We’re on the ground
We’ve almost made it
Hard to find a way to say goodbye
And yet the final kiss betrayed it
In the shadow of the world outside
Don’t let it darken down your eyes
You never could have second prize
Out into the world on shaking ground
And leaving all the lights behind us

From my arms where no warmth could be found
Just the love that had confined us
In the shadow of the things you know
Don’t ever think of letting go
No,
Not for second prize
Time is up and bringing down our ride
We’re on the ground the music’s ending
