Passage

(new song)

Rosemary, she’s been singing

all the same songs all these years

And I have fallen through the cracks of your deceit

When intemperance was holding me

 

Lone fighter, he’s been fighting

all the same wars all these years

What they could never really try to comprehend

What's incongruent was stalling me

 

But I can’t see the cracks no more

Too much water’s flown under the bridge

The constant ebb and flow of memories

was keeping the scenes alive

 

Wayfarer, he’s been travelling

on the same roads all these years

Never knowing what’s in store ahead of him

Observing all the changes made

 

Lone fighter, she’s been fighting

all the same wars all these years

The battlefield became her constant sustenance

Their oblivion was holding her

 

And they can’t hear the cries no more

Too much water’s flown under the bridge

The constant ebb and flow of memories

Was keeping the scars alive

 

Another day and the clocks lined up

All the way on the ragged edge of time

Another day and another call

Waiting on the lines of chance

All the way

on your way

always

unaware 

 

Caretaker, believing it was always up to you 

to pick up all the pieces lying on the floor

from the foibles of the rest of us

 

But they can’t hear the cries no more

Too much water’s flown under the bridge

The constant ebb and flow of memory

Was keeping the scars alive
