Amber Light

I'll tell you what

I hope you find

What it is you're after

And as for me

I will be

Dreaming still of clocks all growing like fruit on my fingers' branches

And i'm thinking of things i will need in the past

Tell me, where's the use in that?

It's no use to regret

And yet

The future sure didn't look like this when we first met

I'll tell you what

Time is not:

An arrow moving forward

No, i wade in seas

Of memories

I turn each moment slowly round beneath the amber light

Til i can't see what it was to start with, or which version is right

In the maze that is my mind

(i'm not so good at goodbyes)

Deep summer grass

Your hair is tousled like a windblown pirate flag

A swirl of color, smoke and ash

Our time's been had

The clocks are sinking to the bottom of the bank

But i'm always looking back
