Time Is a Mystery

Her memory drifts in and out from somewhere in the past
Living large, can light a spark today
Start a slow burn or a raging wildfire
She’s never very far away

You might hear her voice, or remember a windswept beach
See her by a crystal clear mountain lake
Can’t ever tell when she’ll be arriving
Back and forth between today and yesterday

Time is a mystery
How long is long ago
A single minute can last forever
Turn around and years are gone
Turn around and years are gone

Who knows, the force that sets it all in motion
Picks the moment she’ll suddenly appear
All the triumphs, all the failures
All the laughter, all the tears
