lyrics

words in
the present tense
can't hurt to try
the past is spent
sweeter with time
like grapes on the vine

turn the key
a shift in place
forms the start of
distant shapes

hold the wheel
a stone is tossed
and ripples grow
into a change of heart

change of heart
the sun aligns and shadows play the staring role
focus on the outline, watch the story unfold
into the light, face to face, it's time to let go
let go

dial in
adjust the lens
blurred until the edge
shows a hint
of what else lies ahead
these images we've kept...

out of phase
it's clear to find
a carousel
across the sky

out to sea
drift away
a gift to to know what lies
outside the waves

outside the waves
dedicate the hours of a rising dawn
photos of the skyline, trace the visible stars
just can't help wondering how small we really are
how small
