|
Sleeping under the sky |
|
The barges are gone to a lost decade |
|
On overgrown banks here |
|
Lovers footsteps went by |
|
Long before ever the roads were made |
|
And in our turn we passed here |
|
And carved our names on trees |
|
As the days washed by like |
|
Waves of an endless sea |
|
Under timeless arcadian skies |
|
Under timeless arcadian skies |
|
Time runs through your fingers |
|
You never hold it at all till it's gone |
|
Some fragments just linger with you |
|
Like snow in the spring hanging on |
|
I left the village behind in the night |
|
To fade like a sail on the darkening seas |
|
The shifts and changes in the patterns of life |
|
Will weather it more than the centuries |
|
And in another village in a far off foreign land |
|
The new day breaks out opening up its hand |
|
And the sun has the moon in his eyes |
|
As he wanders the timeless skies |
