lyrics

When I was a child
I let my mind run wild
I thought that time expired
And then
What then?
So I let you in
I let you in again

When I was growing up
I tried to have my fun
I tried to hurt no one
My mind got stuck
It split and sunk
So I gave it up
I gave it up

Saving all you can
I tried to love your plan
I tried to play my hand
To the finish
But there’s a limit
And I cannot win
I cannot win

You are my best friend
When I took your hand
I tried to understand
What it meant
How time begins
And it let us in
It let us in again

Somewhere in between
The light I try to be
The dark I cannot leave
I am ancient
When time ends
It’s gonna start again
Start again
