Lyrics for Counting Out Time by Dave Stewart and Chris Braide from the album Life In A Minor Key

Lying in the fields of gold
I can see my mother’s home
Where I spent all my days makin’ plans
When we held life in our hands

Summer passed, I thought it would last
Maybe for a lifetime
Like falling leaves om a restless breeze
I see the faces change and I recall the days

When we were counting out time
We were living on a natural high
Without reason, without rhyme
And there was nothing on our minds

Remember on the night we cried
We had to learn to stay alive
When you lose a friend it’s hard to see
How the future’s gonna be

Summer passed, it could never last
longer than the moment
Like falling leaves on a restless breeze
I see the seasons change
And I recall the days, when…

We were counting out time
We were living on a natural high
Without reason, without rhyme
And there was nothing on our minds

And we held life in our hands
And we have words and we have plans
So many plans

Repeat Chorus to finish
