Sweet Bird

Out on some borderline

Some mark of in-between

I lay down golden in time

And woke up vanishing

Sweet bird you are

Briefer than a falling star

All these vain promises on beauty jars

Somewhere with your wings on time you must be laughing

Behind our eyes

Calendars of our lives

Circled with compromise

Sweet bird of time and change, you must be laughing

Up on your feathers laughing

Golden in time

Cities under the sand

Power, ideals and beauty fading in everyone's hands

Give me some time

I feel like I'm losing mine

Out here on this horizon line

With the earth spinning and the sky forever rushing

No one knows

They can never get that close

Guesses at most

Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching

Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching

Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching

Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching

Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching

Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
