Scattered

Take my arm and walk with me Once more down this dusty old path The sunset cuts the hill in half Our shadows stretch back to touch the night The light's fading, you say But these darkening days Flow like honey These days slowing down A whole life in a glance The clearest light shines in the darkness Shining on me And we're still doing this dance One step at a time As the days slip by As smooth as glass The moments pass And all these precious things you gave That I've been holding in my hands These grains of sand A man stands in a river Pushes against the stream Time is a tide that disobeys It disobeys me These days slowing down A whole life in a glance The clearest light shines in the darkness Still shining on me And we're still doing this dance The moon and stars As the days slip by As smooth as glass The moments pass And all these precious things you gave Falling through my hands These worlds, this scattered sand I stand in a river Push against the stream Time is a tide that disobeys And it disobeys me It never ends
