Lyrics&Music ©Brad Spurgeon

Chorus

G Em
I can hear it on the radio
Am7 D
I can feel it in the airwaves
I can see it in my memories
I can touch it in my mind

G Bm
It’s a song that makes time standstill
Am7 D
It’s a song that makes my heart feel the thrill
It’s a song about the times we spent together
Watching life go on seemingly forever

It is locked in time, like the Grecian Urn
It is frozen there, like the Nightingale
And it cannot be changed, it cannot be altered now
It’s as we left it, lived it, way back then

Chorus

I can hear it on the radio
I can feel it in the airwaves
I can see it in my memories
I can touch it in my mind

It’s a story we wrote each one together
It’s a tale we lived out for two
No one’s ever going to change the beginning
No one’s ever going to rewrite the end

(Musical break)

And now it’s time for me to turn it off
If only for a day or three
Then I’ll return to you, yeah, once again
And bit by bit, set us free

Chorus

I can hear it on the radio
I can feel it in the airwaves
I can see it in my memories
I can touch it in my mind

I got addicted, and since then I have played in open mics and open jam sessions in dozens of countries and on all continents except Africa (where I did actually once live and play) and Antarctica. ... more
