[Verse 1] Forty-three now, baby In that little flat in Montreal PC glow on the wall Anime on, curtains drawn Roll a little, let the night breathe Suzy curls in your lap She still chases your hand Like the world never went bad [Pre-Chorus] But you look at her face And it hits like rain She was tiny in your palm Now she knows your pain [Chorus] Where did the time go? Where did the time go? Suzy, my girl You grew so slow Where did the time go? Where did the time go? You were a kitten then Now you know the snow [Verse 2] Poussière used to race her Through the hall and the chair Two little ghosts of fur Leaving pawprints in the air Then 2023 came And the room went still You kept her bowl by the sink And you feel her there still [Pre-Chorus] So you talk to Suzy Like she understands One old heart in the dark And a cat-shaped hand [Chorus] Where did the time go? Where did the time go? Suzy, my girl You grew so slow Where did the time go? Where did the time go? You were a kitten then Now you know the snow [Bridge] He said, "Stay a while" To the small gray queen You were there for the grief You were there for the dream We were young in that room Now the years lean in Still you purr like a prayer Still you make him grin [Final Chorus] Where did the time go? Where did the time go? Suzy, my girl You grew so slow Where did the time go? Where did the time go? Poussière lives on In the way you move through home
