Sweet Bird

Out on some borderline
 Some mark of inbetween
 I lay down golden-in time
 And woke up vanishing
 Sweet bird you are
 Briefer than a falling star
 All these vain promises on beauty jars
 Somewhere with your wings on time
 You must be laughing
 Behind our eyes
 Calendars of our lives
 Circled with compromise
 Sweet bird of time and change
 You must be laughing
 Up on your feathers laughing
 Golden in time
 Cities under the sand
 Power, ideals and beauty
 Fading in everyone's hand
 Give me some time
 I feel like I'm losing mine
 Out here on this horizon line
 With the earth spinning
 And the sky forever rushing
 No one knows
 They can never get that close
 Guesses at most
 Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
 Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
 Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
