Holding On To Nothing

After holding on to nothing for awhile I glanced to see what waited there A shadow leaning easy by a window A scent of something recent in the air Nothing runs faster than time at night But time slows down every day All those hours with nothing to do Holding nothing again today Sunny days can fool you They can look wet with rain And even words from a friend can bring back The pain Memories come back on their own Birds fly south in the sky Pictures are drawn pencil sketches at dawn Wishes that I too could fly Sunny days can fool you They can look wet with rain And even words from a friend can bring back The pain All the pictures I see are smiling at me But today I'm somebody new Not really knowing just coming and going A stranger just passing through
