demo for FAWM 2016

lyrics

i don’t dream in color
i move like a specter
in shadows, i let her
slip by

in my mind you are there
but frozen, in-animate
in amber, a soul mate
a hand-clasp in time

i see you in bas-relief
you’re part of a frieze
i reach out to touch you
and it feels like the breeze

a pale substitute
still here, resolute
a reflection of a moment in time

sands of time
it smooths out the corners
the sons and the daughters
the sands of time
they’re like a picture
but not as I knew

there’s me and there’s you
we’re lying on our backs
we’re looking at the sky
once upon a time

it was all true
the grasp and release
your shoulders, your hands
the stroke of your cheek

now gone, with the sands
still here, resolute
a reflection of a moment in time
cast in alabaster
my heart’s beating faster
but I wake up at the same part each time

sands of time
it smooths out the corners
the sons and the daughters
sands of time
they’re like a picture
but not as I knew

i’m waiting for you, baby x4
