For D.B.

lyrics

It's a miracle to be
It's a blessing and a curse
Whether you are at your best
or your worst
As it's all the same to me
Let's spare the sanctimony
I will tell a joke at your funeral
'Cause there's still laughter
When the leaves fall
You go on living
As the earth cools
And the fire's dying down
Time's a series of events
Everything in a sequence
All that's real is now
And just before it passes
If it's all the same to you
To the past, let's bid adieu
To the future, we'll see you when we see you
Where did the time go?
Is it buried?
Are you the dumb dog
Digging up time's bones?
Are the clock hands
Chasing their own tales around?

When your friend died
You felt lighter
Why's it weird to admit that
Aren't you a good boy
And did you use that
As an excuse for
Your other problems?
And that's ok too
But they were actually there before
And the fire's dying down
And the clock hand is chasing its own tale around
Around
Around
Around
Around...

All beneath the moon will fade
The moon itself will move away
All that in this world that's bought
Now or then returns to nought
In Time...
