When Time Stood Still Lyrics
Far beyond the things you see
Time rolls on eternally
Got a thing about it
Just can't live without it
Sitting there inside your mind
Just waiting for the clock to chime
On a lonely line
Stood a lonely man
No pictures on an empty wall
No body there no one at all
Just echoes in the ivory halls
When time stood still
Days line up outside the door
Thought time had stopped there was no more
Been a lonely world
Such a lonely world
No pictures on an empty wall
No Toulouse, Vincent, or Pablo
Just echoes in the ivory halls
When time stood still
No big machine or April showers
No submarines no plastic flowers
Just echoes in the ivory towers
When time stood still
When time stood still
When time stood still
When time stood still
Time rolls on eternally
Got a thing about it
Just can't live without it
Just waiting for the clock to chime
On a lonely line
Stood a lonely man
No body there no one at all
Just echoes in the ivory halls
When time stood still
Thought time had stopped there was no more
Been a lonely world
Such a lonely world
No Toulouse, Vincent, or Pablo
Just echoes in the ivory halls
When time stood still
No submarines no plastic flowers
Just echoes in the ivory towers
When time stood still

I can't help thinking that this song is a memorial to John Lennon, and is lamenting the tragic circumstances of his death, which had occurred within that year. It's a very beautiful song, and certainly a worthy memorial, if that's what it is.
