Seventeen Seconds

Time slips away

and the light begins to fade

and everything is quiet now.

Feeling is gone

and the picture disappears

and everything is cold now.

The dream had to end.

The wish never came true

and the girl

starts to sing...

Seventeen seconds,

a measure of life.

Seventeen seconds.

The other one is Secrets.

It may well be, but I’d say that this song details the last seventeen seconds of someone’s life.

If you have a lead on Brisbane 21 August 1992 - CT version, for the love of Bob, let me know. Please!

Shouldn't "quite" (3rd line) be "quiet?" Changes the meaning a bit...
