You changed your shoes to something smart
Said you'd finally, begrudgingly, fallen to progress
And these old rags, once so loved,
Now lay in tatters and didn't matter to time
'Darling, time waits for no shoe
Still less for me or you
And everything we do
Makes time slip faster still'
And while they formed around your feet
I thought you different;
Indifferent and reverent intertwined
And if surprise betrayed these eyes
When you looked up at mine
As I considered you for everything you'd been
I've known your heart as long as it's been beating
You wear your father's diving suit
You say it comforts you
To clutch something real against your skin
You chose, and you choose,
To break a wishbone heart
To tell the truth
I've known your heart as long as it's been beating
I've known your heart as long as it's been beating
I've loved your heart as long as it's been beating
I've loved your heart...
