The Dream Academy - 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 almost down
The music's
