Tortoise of Independency

Strokes out silent, soft

It's been a while since her days have been

And in the cavernous sheet

She feeds a tortoise of independency

Why do you walk with me so slow?

Said I walk like I'm in a trance

And I spoke

I said, "I just want this moment to last and to last"

See those figures wait alone

On the park bench of memories

It's been and gone

And yeah, I think about the dreams I've had for so long

So long, so long, so long, so long
