On & On

Lately, the silence Tender and smiling Echoes divining On and on A pattern emerges Spinning in circles Further and further On and on I've carried a lifetime This far and then some And I bet you I sleep through My final dawn The sight of the prophet Was perfect but crowded And after an hour it Dragged on I listen to growin' Ebbin' and flowin' Nothin' like knowin' The sun has shone It's a close little whisper A kiss from a distance Bliss in an instant Has come and gone It's one, it's gone It's one, it's gone It's one, it's gone It's one, it's gone It's one, it's gone It's one, it's gone It's one, it's gone It's one, it's gone It's one, it's gone It's one, it's gone It's one, it's gone It's one, it's gone It's one, it's gone It's one, it's gone It's one, it's gone It's one, it's gone It's one, it's gone (well that was great)
