Amber Light

I'll tell you what I hope you find What it is you're after And as for me I will be Dreaming still of clocks all growing like fruit on my fingers' branches And I'm thinking of things I will need in the past Tell me, where's the use in that? It's no use to regret And yet The future sure didn't look like this when we first met I'll tell you what Time is not: An arrow moving forward No, I wade in seas Of memories I turn each moment slowly round beneath the amber light Til I can't see what it was to start with, or which version is right In the maze that is my mind (i'm not so good at goodbyes) Deep summer grass Your hair is tousled like a windblown pirate flag A swirl of color, smoke and ash Our time's been had The clocks are sinking to the bottom of the bank But i'm always looking back
