[00:00.00]World Stood Still - Karen Matheson
[00:13.38]The day you left this island was a cold December morning
[00:18.39]
[00:19.66]Tender was the redness of the sky
[00:23.47]
[00:25.85]And all along the shoreline sang birds in blissful glory
[00:31.40]
[00:32.45]I had never heard their cry before
[00:36.21]
[00:38.47]And nothing can prepare you for the final parting words
[00:43.97]
[00:44.83]As leaving marks its harshness on your mind
[00:48.49]
[00:51.28]And I've been ever waiting for the day the world stood still
[00:57.21]
[00:59.94]Waiting for the day you came to me
[01:03.21]
[01:15.74]Waking in a new day to parodies of disillusion
[01:21.18]
[01:22.17]Songs become your savior every day
[01:25.37]
[01:28.35]With so many faces just holding on in borrowed places
[01:34.19]
[01:34.80]Hoping for the day they make it home
[01:38.31]
[01:40.64]And nothing can prepare you for the final parting words
[01:46.44]
[01:47.37]As leaving marks its harshness on your mind
[01:50.99]
[01:53.94]And I've been ever waiting for the day the world stood still
[02:00.01]
[02:02.03]Waiting for the day you came to me
[02:05.37]
[02:18.10]Yours is the kingdom the power and all its glory
[02:23.41]
[02:24.37]Yours is the world to call your own
[02:27.92]
[02:30.71]But careful child hold on tight and pray your star keeps shining
[02:36.06]
[02:36.90]Like a silver moon to guide you home again
[02:40.76]
[02:43.56]And nothing can prepare you for the final parting words
[02:48.73]
[02:49.68]As leaving marks its harshness on your mind
[02:53.32]
[02:56.26]And I've been ever waiting for the day the world stood still
[03:02.15]
[03:04.60]Waiting for the day you came to me
