Words and music by Liam Robinson

lyrics

For a Moment
Words and music by Liam Robinson

They tore up the asphalt to repave the street
And revealed the old trolley car tracks
Two bright lines of steel that emerged from the pavement
Like fossils dug up from the past
We could see them
We could touch them
Just for a moment and then they were gone

The power went out on the fourteenth of August
And the children of Brooklyn saw stars
Orion’s bright arrows were raining from heaven
As radiant beams from afar
We could see them
We could touch them
Just for a moment and then they were gone
We could see them
We could touch them
Just for a moment and then they were gone

The cloud cover lifts, the kaleidoscope shifts and a red velvet curtain is drawn
The silence is broken, the truth it is spoken one moment before it is gone
That’s when I see it
That’s when I feel it
That’s when I know it
Just for a moment

You sat on the bed, you buttoned your shirt as the stars faded out of the sky
And there in the doorway you switched on the hall light and something had changed in your eyes
I could see it
Just for a moment and then it was gone
Just for a moment, and then you were gone
Just for a moment and then we are gone
Oh, we can see it
We can feel it
Just for a moment and then we are gone
