I turn my back to the wind
To catch my breath,
Before I start off again.
Driven on,
Without a moment to spend
To pass an evening
With a drink and a friend
I let my skin get too thin
I'd like to pause,
No matter what I pretend
Like some pilgrim-
Who learns to transcend-
Learns to live
As if each step was the end
Time stand still-
I'm not looking back
But I want to look around me now
See more of the people
And the places that surround me now
Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each sensation a little bit stronger
Experience slips away...
I turn my face to the sun
Close my eyes.
Let my defences down-
All those wounds
That I can't get unwound
I let my past go too fast
No time to pause-
If I could slow it all down
Like some captain,
Whose ship runs aground-
I can wait until the tide comes around
Make each impression a little bit stronger
Freeze this motion a little bit longer
The innocence slips away...
Summer's going fast,
Nights growing colder
Children growing up-
Old friends growing older
