Electric Light Orchestra
When Time Stood Still
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Far beyond the things we see
Our time rolls on eternally
Got a thing about it
Just can't live without it
[Verse 2]
Sitting there inside your mind
Just waiting for the clock to chime
In a lonely land
Stood a lonely man
[Chorus 1]
No pictures on an empty wall
Nobody there, no one at all
Just echoes in the ivory halls
When time stood still
[Verse 3]
Days lined up outside the door
For time had stopped, it was no more
In a lonely world
Such a lonely world
[Chorus 2]
No pictures on an empty wall
No Toulouse, Vincent, or Pablo
Just echoes in the ivory halls
When time stood still
[Chorus 3]
No big machines or April showers
No submarines, no plastic flowers
Just echoes in the ivory towers
When time stood still
[Outro]
When time stood still
When time stood still
When time stood still
