A Matter of Time
Breaking into silence
As the world around crashes
Life exceeds its images
As all things fade with it
As all things fade with it
A narrow path continues
A tattered boy shouts the news
Buildings stand and stare
Stars glisten in frozen air
Stars glisten in frozen air
Time spins round on empty clocks
Leaving life behind
Frightened by what might come
Knowing its a matter of time
Shallow breaths leave closed mouths
Tears can find their way somehow
Smiles greet and grin and leave
Passersby aren't sure what to be
Passersby aren't sure what to be
Leaves turn round on howling wind
Neighbors laugh and let you in
Behind facades the ticking slows
A small girl shivers in the cold
A small girl shivers in the cold
Time spins round on empty clocks
Leaving life behind
Frightened by what might come
Knowing its a matter of time
The green seems to fade somehow
And yet, the flowers blossom out
Earths revolve around their suns
As a mother bids farewell
As a mother bids farewell-to her son
