Am              F
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

Chorus:
Am               F
Seventeen seconds,
a measure of life
Seventeen seconds
