T i m e
My Grandpa he was a salesman
Sailed around Rhode Island's tide
And my nana was a painter
Painted us all with the ink of Grandpa’s blue eyes
But even in the shade, every painting fades
You can run away to Kathmandu
Float along the Rhine
And the winds of today may help to carry you
But you can’t run away from time
He ran down to the hospital when he heard the fall
And though her face looked familiar, it wasn’t her at all
Glazed and prone and all alone she can’t understand
His lips quiver, “No please Mum, just let me hold your hand.”
And as she falls apart, it breaks an old mans heart.
You can run away to Kathmandu
Float along the Rhine
And the winds of today may help to carry you
But you can’t run away from time
