[lyrics by Andrew Buller, tune by suno.com - created in Canterbury, Kent - 31/12/24] [short instrumental] [intro] slow (slow) slow (slow) slow (slow) slow (slow) [short instrumental] [verse 1] on a late December evening so used to the cold of alone craving conversation and your call of 'honey, I'm home' throw the curtains open invite in starlight's gleam I need to make space for hope before the nights steal every dream I've been trying my best to remember you but I can't do this on my own [short instrumental] [chorus] I'm praying for time I'm praying to time to speed the dark away I'm praying through time I'm praying in time to the swing of your slow dance sway o the pendulum swing of your slow dance sway [short instrumental] [verse 2] hear the heartbeat rhythm driving each tick and tock our pendulum has never swung so low beneath the graven face of our clock as hands raise up toward midnight in some kind of imagined praise I thought I felt a softness pass a whisper of memory's days I'm still trying my best to remember you but I really can't do this on my own [short instrumental] [chorus] I'm praying for time I'm praying to time to speed the dark away I'm praying through time I'm praying in time to the swing of your slow dance sway o the pendulum swing of your slow dance sway [short instrumental] [bridge] I hear the turn of a familiar key within our tune that I know is true and there in dreams and in our home a vision of a slow dancing, elegant you I know, I know it's you I'm touching, I'm touching you I'm holding hands with time with you [short instrumental] [changed chorus] I'm praising our time I'm cradling time to plead these moments stay I'm savouring time I'm loving our time o the swing, o the swing of your slow dance sway o the pendulum swing of your slow dance sway [outro] slow dance time this way slow dance time this way
