In my time I should have found you
I have lived long enough now
Tell me what's humming around you
I would give it all to be the sound
Am I right?
They come and they go
Like seasonal flowers
Then lo and behold
They're withered to powder and
Blowing in the wind
The intransient sands of time
In my life I could be something
Maybe I could have somehow
Others I've watched rise above me
I love them but I want to bring them down
Am I right?
Am I right?
You'll do as you're told
An impossible allowance for
Blood that runs cold
In a million tall towers
From ceiling to floor
We're straightened and crowded into
Six-sided holes
No matter how they found you and
Hope it don't go
The way it all did in your mind
It opens and closes
The cosmos is flowing and
What do you know
You feel sunbeams exploding
To carry you home
I'm in no shape nor sober
Nor healthy nor whole
But at least it's all over
If forced to explain
No I couldn't tell you
A single dark thing
That passed 'tween my earlobes
From summer to spring
How wickedly time goes
And what will remain of my
Woes and rejoices
Then do it all again
A new generation will find
