Today The World Stopped Turning

(album: Laughing On Judgement Day - 1992)

I can't believe the conversation we just had, came like a bolt out of the blue
You said you couldn't see a future anymore for me and you

It feels like someone's dropped a bomb upon my life
And I can't help wondering who's to blame
You thrust a dagger oh so deep into my heart
And I'm slain, all you left me is the pain

'Cos you stole my soul, then you broke my heart
And I don't know why, but I'm still yearning
Darling in my mind you've frozen the hands of time
Because today the world stopped turning

I was numb at first but now it's sinking in
Don't think I've felt this way before
It wasn't easy but I let my feelings show, and you slammed the door

I gave you all the space you needed in your life
How could I give you anymore?
You told me that you really didn't understand
So what's the score, what did I take the trouble for?

'Cos you stole my soul, then you broke my heart
And I don't know why, but I'm still yearning
Darling in my mind you've frozen the hands of time
Because today the world stopped turning

The world stopped turning

I gave you all the space you needed in your life
How could I give you anymore?
You told me that you really didn't understand
So what's the score, what did I take the trouble for?

'Cos you stole my soul, then you broke my heart
And I don't know why, but I'm still yearning
Darling in my mind you've frozen the hands of time
Because today the world stopped turning

The world stopped turning

You lit the fire and I'm still burning, yes I'm burning
