time stand still

kanadalı progressive grubu rush'ın 1987 yılında çıkardığı hold your fire isimli albümünün 2. şarkısıdır.

sözleri neil peart'a, müziği geddy lee ve alex lifeson'a aittir.
sözleri şöyledir ki:

I turn my back to the wind
To catch my breath,
Before I start off again
Driven on,
Without a moment to spend
To pass an evening
With a drink and a friend

I let my skin get too thin
Id like to pause,
No matter what I pretend
Like some pilgrim --
Who learns to transcend --
Learns to live
As if each step was the end

Time stand still --
Im not looking back
But I want to look around me now
See more of the people
And the places that surround me now

Freeze this moment
A little bit longer
Make each sensation
A little bit stronger
Experience slips away...

I turn my face to the sun
Close my eyes,
Let my defences down --
All those wounds
That I cant get unwound

I let my past go too fast
No time to pause --
If I could slow it all down
Like some captain,
Whose ship runs aground --
I can wait until the tide
Comes around

Make each impression
A little bit stronger
Freeze this motion
A little bit longer
The innocence slips away...

Summers going fast --
Nights growing colder
Children growing up --
Old friends growing older
Experience slips away...

çok hoş bir rush şarkısıdır. mike portnoyun neil pearttan etkilendiğinin kesin kanıtıdır. O kadar ki şarkıyı bilmeyen bir kişi sadece neil peart'ı dinlese çalan kişinin mike portnoy olduğunu düşünecektir.
