Timeless

I never ran so far
Never ran so fast
Just to stand still
Where moments leave descriptions
In their comet tails

So run away with me
To a place where time just chills
Either pole will do
North or south, you choose
And we’ll tell everybody

Only time is on our side
Spinning around ever so slowly
We’ll wave as they go by
Now that time is on our side
This Picasso parade is
Our happy ending

Say those words again
So that I can feel my dreams
Materialize in front of me
Just like the sky becomes the air I breathe

So breathe in everything
For a second time around
Dreaming everything again
Slows this revolution down

Only time is on our side
Spinning around ever so slowly
We’ll wave as they go by
Now that time is on our side
This Picasso parade is
Our happy ending
.

.

For the life that I lead
And the lives I leave behind
I would give them all away
For a moment just to say that I’m sorry

.

.

.
For the life that I lead
And the lives I leave behind
I would live them all again
Forever knowing I can spin, forever

.

.

.

The beat of my heart
It ebbs and flows
To the shape of your words
And the curl of your toes

Your shadowing stares
Sing high in my mind
Silent spaces, deep-rooted
Drinking moments of sound

I could talk for an hour
I could walk for a year
Every word slowing steps
Till the steps disappear

From a distance, each step
A discretely placed line
In a parallel world
Every step misaligned

Every life has two souls
Every soul has a voice
We should sing till we’re numb
Like we’re given a choice

Looking forward I choose
Not a song of my own
But a counterpoint melody
Cadence unknown

Memories
