Near Adelaide

There’s a motion I find, as we move forward in time.

With every moment I fear if I stay and wait for today to arrive.

Then I can see my own sky, another moment behind.

But would I forget to tell myself to watch it again.

I look back at the sun, and I want to stay.

Disappear someone else sees today.

I look back at the sun, I’ll be waiting here.

Had to warn myself not to look away.

I could never forget, swirling over my head.

Time forgetting to bring me with you has left me right here instead.

Because today is convinced that I will not remember the past.

One last look in the glass the lens focused thinks I’m moving too fast.

I look back at the sun, and I want to stay.

Disappear someone else sees today.

I look back at the sun, I’ll be waiting here.

Had to warn myself not to look away.

The pinkish skies before my eyes the sun’s away.

Because tonight it’s pulled aside near adelaide.

There’s a motion I find, spoken best in a rhyme.

I was looking at mine, the wrong line forgot to follow the sign.

Now it’s floated away, beginning someone’s today.

Hiding somewhere across the pacific it convinced me to stay.

Back at the sun, and I want to stay.

Disappear someone else sees today.

I look back at the sun, I’ll be waiting here.

Had to warn myself not to look away.
