lyrics

VI.Evening’s Spell

Do you remember when?
Well, that was then;
and then was when that was, my friend.
In the mist and the mystery,
in the sunlit dust of history,
is a door we won't walk through again.
You take a rose and you plant it,
you take something for granted,
it can be gone like a song you forgot.
I hear a muffled chime
that tells me that I'm learning how to tell time
more clearly than any clock.

Regrets are like highway men,
they take what they think they can
and leave the rest in a ditch.
They will sell you your dreams
and old worn out schemes
'till you hardly know which is which.
In the evening’s spell
even God cannot tell
the falling of every leaf.
The silent, staring sky
hardly blinks an eye
while things go on below that you would hardly believe.
