lyrics

Gentle cycles
Rolling, lost
Pushing your stroller to the park
Where the jungle gym hangs upside down
We played hide and seek til the merry go round found us

Gentle patterns of glowing stars
We're told it stays dark all night
But we could never stay awake long enough
To see for ourselves

And change occurred gradually
Spinning spokes on a heated road
The tread on the tires softened halfway down the ramp
And change occurred steadily
We held on to our steering wheels
Do we reintroduce as strangers
When we meet halfway along the path?

You told me I was still the boy you fell in love with years ago
I curled inside the corner of your song
Like a penny in your pocket
Or a sound you found in baby grass
I tried to die inside your arms
Right then and there
But underneath maturing hair I knew
There was still more work to do

Stay with me know
As the curtain wraps around this field
Some sinister reminder of the clock and all it's wheels
There's time for everything inside this plain
There's a time for laughing recklessly
A time for play
There's a time to leave those things that don't let go
And a time to retun
Give me one thousand hours to throw away
In your arms
And I'd return
