Biography:
Al Stewart (born in Glasgow, Scotland on 5 September 1945) is a British songwriter and musician. He is best known for his 1976 single Year of the Cat and its 1978 follow-up Time Passages (both produced by Alan Parsons). Stewart's inspiration for his songs primarily comes from the past; indeed, he is credited with creating his own genre, "historical folk rock". At one time in his life, Stewart took guitar lessons from King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp.

Time Passages
as recorded on Time Passages by Al Stewart
(words and music by Al Stewart and Peter White)
Eb Bb| Ab/Eb|Eb Bb|Gm7 Ab/Bb| Eb Bb/Eb |Gm Ab |
It was late in December. The sky turned to snow.
Bb Cm Bb Ab Eb Bb/Eb Gm Ab
All'round the day was going down slow. Night, like a river, beginning to flow
Bb Cm Bb Ab
I felt the beat of my mind go drifting into
Eb Bb/Eb Ab/Eb Eb Bb Cm F
time passages. Years go falling in the fading light.
Eb Bb/Eb Ab/Eb Bb Ab Gm Bb
Time passages. Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight.
Eb Bb/Eb| Ab/Eb|Eb Bb|Gm7 Ab/Bb| Eb Bb/Eb Gm Ab
Well, I'm not the kind to live in the past.
Bb Cm Bb Ab Eb Bb/Eb
The years run too short and the days too fast. The things you lean on are
Gm Ab Bb Cm Bb Ab
things that don't last. Well it's just now and then my line gets cast
into these
Eb Bb/Eb Ab/Eb Eb Bb Cm F
time passages. There's something back there that you left behind.
Eb Bb/Eb Ab/Eb Bb Ab Gm Bb
Time passages. Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight.
Eb Bb/Eb| Ab/Eb|Eb Bb|Gm7 Ab| Cb Abm6/Cb
Hear the echoes and feel yourself starting
Eb Cb Abm6/Cb Cm F
to turn. Don't know why you should feel that there's something to learn.
| Eb Bb/Eb| Ab/Eb|Eb Bb|Gm7 Ab/Bb|
It's just a game that you play.
Eb Bb/Eb Gm Ab
Well, the picture is changing. Now you're part of a crowd. They're laughing
Bb Cm Bb Ab Eb Bb/Eb Gm Ab
at something, the music's loud. A girl comes toward you you once used to know.
Bb Cm Bb Ab
You reach out your hand, but you're all alone in those
Eb Bb/Eb Ab/Eb Eb Bb Cm F
time passages. I know you're in there, you're just out of sight.
Eb Bb/Eb Ab/Eb Bb Ab Gm Bb
Time passages. Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight.
