Text: Paul Weller. With Time & Temperance.

As worlds end with new ones to open
As you change your aim
Lives thrown up into the open
Get on a different plane

Words meant but were left unspoken
Take on a different name
And hearts mend that once were so broken
As time heals the pain

Till you can find it in your heart
To forgive if not to forget such a part
Of life that you lost

As you lose your mind
Something else you'll find
And faces strange, start to change

As worlds end with new ones to open
As you change your aim
Lives thrown up into the open
Get on a different plane

Words meant but were left unspoken
Take on a different name
And hearts mend that once were so broken
As time heals the pain

Never stopping like rain dropping
To find a place on earth
Never stopping like rain dropping
To find a place on earth

You'll find, you'll wake up fresh instead
You'll find me less inside your head
With words left unsaid

As you lose your mind
Hey, something else in time
And faces strange, rearrange

As worlds end with new ones to open
As you change your aim
Lives thrown up into the open
Get on a different plane

Words meant but were left unspoken
Take on a different name
And hearts mend that once were so broken
As time heals the pain

Never stopping like rain dropping
To find a place on earth
Never stopping like rain dropping
To find a place on earth

Stop this rain
Stop this rain
Stop this rain
Stop this rain
