Time Is a Jailer

Anouk · Together Alone [1997]

No one can hear me, 'cause no one is around

But I still hear your whisper in the dark

I know I can go, I know I can leave when ever I please

But time is a jailer for me



A face in the window, looking inside

But no one else sees it, I know

And now that you've found that the years have changed

What the ending will be

Time's just a jailer for me



I shut out the light

Alone in the dark

This time of night

Is the hardest part



And now that you've found that the years have changed

What the ending will be

Time's just a jailer for me



I still hear the whisper, your heels on the floor

I wait for the sound of your key in the door

But it's only the sound of nothing at all and so it must be

That time is a jailer for me

But it's only the sound of nothing at all and so it must be

Time's just a jailer for me

Time's just a jailer for me
