Another Time, Another Place

Bryan Ferry · Another Time, Another Place [1974]

I knew there'd be times like this

When I'd sit at home and reminisce

Oh how one's memory slips...

So I close my book

And sighing, take a second look

Sure enough - I'm quite alone

Still, there no sound

So I spin-a-disc around and around

And slide the needle in the groove...



Drive down any highway baby

But don't bid me adieu

Through a sea of twisting byways

I'll be trailing you

Eternity'll solve our problem

Take it as you may

And destiny will stand corrected

Should we connect some day



Another time - to spend

Another place - to go

Another love to share with you



Deep emotion springs from this life

Wells up inside

Quick, pick me up and pour me over

The clouds crying by



Another time - to spend

Another place - to go

Another love this time it's true



Anyway you want me lover

Used to be your tune

I looked you up - you looked me over

My lucky strike won through



I was cut, dried and discarded

Just a rusty blade

But since I found my four leaf clover

I've seen the light again



All the tears

In the world

Seem to fall from you

At their

Rainbow's end

A halcyon day

Or two

How soon

We fool ourselves

How slow

We tread

Astral planes

Collide head on

And on and on we glide

As if forever
