Seventeen Seconds Lyrics

Time slips away
and the light begins to fade
Everything is quiet now

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e75642-cowboy_junkies~seventeen_seconds_lyrics.html ]
Feeling is gone
and the picture disappears
Everything is cold now

The dream had to end
the wish never came true
The girl, starts to sing

Seventeen seconds
A measure of life
Seventeen seconds
A measure of life

Seventeen seconds (repeated)
