Eva Cassidy - Time After Time

Lying in my bed I hear
The clock tick, and think of you
Turning in circles
Confusion is nothing new
Flashback to warm nights
Almost left behind
A suitcase of memories,
Time after--

Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me,
I can't hear what you've said
Then you say go slow
I've fallen behind
The second hand unwinds

Chorus:
If you're lost you can look
And you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you
I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you,
I will be waiting
Time after time
Time after time

After your picture fades
And darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows
I'm wondering
If you're okay
And you say go slow
I've fallen behind
The drum beats out of time--

Chorus:
If you're lost you can look
And you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you
I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you
I will be waiting
Time after time...
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time


having nothing to do with the futurefic currently assaulting all my best efforts to finish 'Watershed,' i swear...

her lyrics are actually different

if you know the song by heart, you can read through and notice that Eva Cassidy shifts from the second to the first person in the third verse, as well as other little changes throughout. that, and Eva Cassidy's version is slower, more resonant at a deeper level,... or maybe it's all just because i have context for it.
