Song For All Time - Joy Electric

Often how I keep wondering

In these minutes of a time and season

On from busy hours

To remember life, as a time when no one rested

Hurried, incomplete

Worsened by defeat

Of the growing discontented

Swept away from life awakened to each day

With the sense that no one here will stay

And all was lost

A book was closed on our lives

Song for all time

Unfamiliar place, with familiar signs

You can never leave them far behind

Temporary grief, no prolonged relief

Holes are filled with things you still don’t need

Every friend you’ve lost

Each a single thought

Captured in a letter on a shelf

Once a year we write, once a year we call

But every year there’s less to talk about
