Countdown

Cloads above the cemetery.
Can't even tell the time of day..
They give nothing away
Reading names of people past
They're so very close and far away...
But who am I to say?

Trees obsure the borderlines,
there's big weeping willows all around.
Their branches weight them down.

Remember when we came unglued to float by the window?
The neighbors must have had a laugh:
We love to put on a show.
For people who would try to deny
We'll show 'em the piuctures.
The only thing that bothers me now
is why remember it here?

Is it true,
As I walk along the beach beside you,
That nothing in the world can find you?

Here's to you!
Let the growing of the trees
remind you
That everything is now behind you.

Ear against a mausoleum
Eyes on a broken wristwatch hand
My feet still caked with sand

Remembering when we came unglued
I feel like my heart is beating fast
I can't seem to relax

And people never used to smile
When posing for portraits
It must have been a different time.
No phony, elastic grin.
I feel like that's the real me.
Straight face and a blank stare.
Looking like I never win,
But I feel fine.

Is it true,
As I walk along the beach beside you,
That nothing in the world can find you?

Here's to you!
Let the growing of the trees
remind you
That everything is now behind you.

Twice in my life I've been sure that a wall was the edge of the world. 
Twice in my life I've been sure that a wall was the edge of the world. 
Twice in my life I've been sure that a wall was the edge of the world. 
And twice in my life I've been sure that a wall was the edge of the world. 
And twice in my life I've been sure that a wall was the edge of the world. 
And twice...
