lyrics

Waves crash on the shoreline

Photons stream into my waiting open eyes

I’m thinkin’ lyin’ supine

‘Cause I’ve heard that’s s’pos’d to make me very wise

Life ticks by on the second hand

River movin’ and I understand

It’s easy to make a metaphor

For how time passes in its nebulous way

For really there is nothin’

To mark a second from a minute or an hour from a day

Life ticks by on the second hand

Starting to think that I understand

Cesium ions oscillate a couple billion times

Moments fluctuate in topographic lows and highs

Present past and future blur their artificial lines

And the wave at the edge of the waterfall learns it was water all the time

Water all the time

Take a river flowing quickly

Or the wind rushing past on a beautiful day

Over flowers growing thickly

Who only know they’re dancing when the pedals start to sway
