lyrics

when the clouds break
when the wind takes shape
when midnight is running late
that’s when i hear your name

when the trolley stalls
when the mercury falls
and lampposts take the place of walls
that’s when i hear your name

this is the time when time stands still
(that’s when i hear your name)
this is the time when time stands still
(that’s when i hear your name)
this is the time when time stands still
(that’s when i hear your name)
this is the time

when december numbs my toes
when that potato head trumpet blows
when police spill a child’s blood on the road
that’s when i hear your name

when the people take the streets
when san francisco sleeps
when the storm comes in from the east
that’s when i hear your name

this is the time when time stands still
(that’s when i hear your name)
this is the time when time stands still
(that’s when i hear your name)
this is the time when time stands still
(that’s when i hear your name)
this is the time

no music in the background
no lights to show the way
no god to give directions
no magic words to say

when this war is over
and the enemy has no more soldiers
and i can stop pushing this boulder
that’s when i’ll know your mine

this is the time when time stands still
(that’s when i hear your name)
this is the time when time stands still
(that’s when i hear your name)
this is the time when time stands still
(that’s when i hear your name)
