Remember, when we were kids We had time and place for everything Now we box up hastily in a limited space Like we have to buy air to breathe We circling our own footprints But time isn't going faster And place isn't wrong And trees in the neighborhood Are as startling as ones at some fancy resort When did we stop to notice That time is always there for us To write a letter to an old friend And wait for an answer With the same conviction As we so stupidly wait for "the right time"
