Reaching out beyond the dream of what you thought was real, spinning on this ball of life, head now under heel. Ready to die, to live this life so raw, alive on ledge- dancing, hurling, freeing your soul to finally stretch the edge.

Oh right ah

Sometimes I think that I know what love's all about
and when I see the light,
I know that I'll be alright. -PG

Sweet girl, your pain moves me...


And in time will come a strong, new desire
Which will bring with it, a change of reason
The grandfather clock never stops its turning
Always knowing its own chime and season

And pain becomes your deepest pleasure
When love frees you, to sing its new song
And the tears will no longer be the measure
When the light fades your shadow, so long

And why does hurt always find you there
In the shelter of your knowing heart
And why does sorrow take that dare
To cheat you, the game you played in the yard

Do you remember those days when we laughed and played
Do you remember countless dreams in the rain
Laying, hands behind head, catching drops on our face
Slipping, sliding and twirling- trusting our warm, secret place

And why when we love with all of our hearts
Why, when we give all that we can
Does it seem that sweet love parts-
From whose hand is dealt this wicked pain?

Do you remember those days when love was a given
Do you remember when heaven was not a question
We lived and breathed knowing what was ours
When joy, not sadness, colored the plucked pink flower

And in time will come the spring’s warmth and splendor
when love comes and sings the song we remember
We'll be chanting the lyrics that we know so well
'Cause our light burns brighter, now more than ever

And in the shelter of love’s warmth and splendor
we will abide another time
(as we always knew we would)
Safely, gratefully, gleefully counting
the ticking moments most sublime

But for now the clock ticks slowly, 
as we learn the song anew
In a moment with awakened yearning
in time, in time- we'll dance here too
