VOCES8 & Lyyra perform 'Time After Time' at the VOCES8 Centre. For our first collaboration together, we had a rummage through Cyndi Lauper’s ‘suitcase of memories’ for a lush new arrangement by Blake of her classic song 'Time After Time'. Despite our groups coming from opposite sides of 'the pond', many different musical backgrounds, and a couple generations of life experience, this hypnotic tune about the mystery of love seems to have impacted each of us at some point.
'Time After Time': Cyndi Lauper & Rob Hyman, arranged by Blake Morgan
TEXT:
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories,
Time after...
Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said
Then you say, go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time
After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows
You're wondering if I'm okay
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time.
