about time
there are times that we remember well
we were young and almost happy
we didn’t long for any more than what we had
the sunburn on our backs
and running through the long grass
never knowing destination
there are times that we’d be glad to drop from memory
the times we’d love to eradicate in fifty thousand different ways
the days when we were lost
the days when we were lonely
never knowing why exactly
waiting again all day
waiting again all day
waiting again all day
i’ll be waiting still tomorrow
as the months go by i find myself much more inclined to simply waiting
in spite of early indications being bad
we’re not put off by that
we’re made of stronger stuff now
and we’ve learned to keep on waiting
if you think that things are good right now
i’m here to say that things were better some years ago
and things will be much better still at some point yet to come
we’re not sure when exactly
but we recommend just waiting
turn the clocks back take a train to the sea
breathe the air and wash your face in the brine
the days get longer when your back’s turned
and you can’t imagine winter
now i’m clumsy and my timing is bad
the clocks go forward and there’s no one to blame
the days get shorter when your back’s turned
you always keep on waiting
