She moves like lightning
Is as contagious as the sun
Her moods are frightening
And I'm pretty sure that soon we'll be done
I try to pin her down but she's always on the run
I wanna catch her but I can't slow her down
She slips through my fingers
Like a symptom of the wind
And though I keep on knocking she never lets me in
But I don't mind so much
As long as I can hear her sing
I wanna catch her but I can't slow her down
No I cannot tempt her
No I cannot slow her down at all
I try to abide by her
But she never remains the same
She stays as still as the winters eye
Beneath the temper of a flame
And I've paid her or at least I've tried
To find affections in the pains
I wanna catch her but I can't slow her down
