Put the knife on the cutting board
Place the bread and wine on the table
In the candlelight as the wine is poured
The time is right, for all we know
And if I do wrong, just as you might
Let's not bring love down to cases
Don't end the dream before you wake
And bury it with empty phrases
refrein:
Baby, we're just marking time as it goes by
Waiting on love to take us somewhere
Baby, we're just marking time as it goes by
Will we know the place when we get there?
I wanted to hold you down for a while
To live what I could know for certain
But how do you hold a fading smile
Or dreams you lock away, you're hurting
