lyrics

Why would we both sit down by the river
And how would we provoke when we're at peace
Tell me how I'm going to make it
Forgiveness the trait that fell at your knees

Mark out the eyes of the self professors
So we can learn as we travel these tides
Endless your mother said don't forget her
And send her a postcard to share the views

Nothing changes when it snows in winter time
Fallen leaves when we've reached the end of the line

Stolen time from father's stopwatch
And seconds that blur as we fade away
Seems such a shame that we never made it
Forgotten the stories will fall on your plate
