Baby's lost time, I know she's mine
But things ain't the same no more
Used to be close, butter on toast
Now I don't feel so sure
We used to be so much in time
Now we don't even rhyme

It seems a crime (It seems a crime)
Baby's lost time (Baby's lost time)
She can't recall the words
Verse one was fine (Verse one was fine)
Baby lost time (Baby lost time)
Nursery rhyme unheard
She threw her chords and way away
Her tune is hard to play

Ours was a simple song
That anyone could sing
But she pitched the key
Too high for me

Baby's lost time, lost reason and rhyme
And all sense of harmony (No sense of harmony)
An unhappy note that dies in the throat
But lives in the heart of me
The song we used to play each day
How soon it fades away

Ours was a simple song
That anyone could sing
But she pitched the key
Too high for me

Baby's lost time, lost reason and rhyme
And all sense of harmony (No sense of harmony)
An unhappy note that dies in the throat
But lives in the heart of me
The song we used to play each day
How soon it fades away
The song we used to play each day
How soon it fades away
Baby's lost time, lost reason and rhyme
Away, oh baby, baby, losin' time
Away
