In the Blink of an eye its all over again
Since the beginning of time I have been your friend

Time, you see, it's a human thing
Where I come from
there is no winter, no spring
A day or a month,  no effect to me
For me, all I have to do , is be

On this trip around it didn't go so well
You didn't find love.
That hurt. I can tell.
Losing your child, your friends and your kin
When it hurt the most, you dug right in

The mind you had, at some point, was lost
linear thought, abandoned, tossed
most of you blew away out there in the snow
ranting and raving, you had to go

Watching you struggle was pain for me too
I felt as I witnessed life happen to you
If you'll forgive me, please, my intentions were good
You wont understand, I doubt that you could

You pushed through your time, you lived all your years.
Small joys were smuggled in among all the  fears
I have to be honest, I know that its tough
Your best wasn't great, it wasn't enough.

The grains funneled down in your hour glass
Wrinkles, they grew, from the pain in your path
your soul expanded, you learned to be
Time to take off your shoes and walk with me
