After holding on to nothing for quite a while
I glanced to see what waited there
A shadow leaning easy by a window
A scent of something reason in the air
Nothing runs faster than time at night
But time slows down every day
All of those hours with nothing to do
Holding nothing again today
And sunny days can fool you
They can lurk wet with rain
And even words from a friend can bring back the pain
Memories come back on their own
And birds fly south in the sky
Pictures are drawn, pencil sketches at dawn
Wishes that I, too, could fly
And sunny days can fool you
They can lurk wet with rain
And even words from a friend can bring back the pain
All the pictures I see are smiling at me
Today I'm somebody new
Not really knowing, just coming and going
A stranger just passing through
