Time is Running Down - Lost Children

I ran about as far away as one can go,

Nearly halfway around the globe.

I’m watching the leaves turn red, and

Meanwhile i’m growing old.

Fading light, our fragile lives,

Oh how fast they go.

Don’t you see our time is running down,

Time running down,

Running out here.

Cities burned to ash.

Barren flooded lands.

All the things you ruined with your war,

May never be again.

I could sift these bones from dust —

To make something complete,

But the fading light of you and I,

Passed like autumn turns the leaves.

Don’t you see our time is running down,

Time running down,

Running out here.
