Tell me what you see
Is there room left in the sky
We’re ripping at the seams
The uniform is tired

Meanwhile I see the child in all directions
Meanwhile I want your smile at our reflection

There’s something wrong with me
All I can see
Is the meantime
Is the meantime

The rain is leaking through
Too many holes to block
There’s nothing I can do
And you refuse to walk

Meanwhile I see the child in all directions
Meanwhile I still want your smile at our reflection

Little honey bee
You’re going slowly
On the window sill
In the winter’s eve
Shall I put us out of our misery
And kiss you farewell out of love
For all you’ve given me

Hold me in the meantime
Hold me in the meantime
Hold me in the meantime
Hold me in the meantime
