lyrics

Here comes winter with an iron fist
it came faster than we ever wished
Little eyes stay wide to see the sky rain down

I write ditties but I mean to say
things that others would throw away
I'm fine is a lie I sometimes tell

Thinking slowly, moving faster then another season comes. We'll say where does time go? We'll pause and then suppose

Senses often bring the memory back
years or decades to a time at last
when thinking seemed less hard and overrated

I remember feeling out of place
I stopped and wondered if there was a way to end this race, but where would we go?

Something's missing, am I dreaming?
Count to ten and pray to God that in this life there's more to see than what we're given here. Are you positive that one day we'll just be?
