Track 12 – Friendship . . . It Just Has Its Time

Description

Friendship . . .  It Just Has Its Time (3:37)

I sat down with some poetry today . . . hoping to happen upon you there.

Bare back to bark beneath our tree . . . thinking you’d creep up on me there.

Time was . . . not in a hurry.  Our hearts’ wings . . . flew us away.

And the will to see more than is there . . .  drifts me back . . . back to where . . .

“If” began no sentence . . . and Time only came back in.

Atop our hill . . . I’d spin until . . . I could see you once again.

Love is nothing much . . . or everything . . . depending on your view.

It isn’t something we fall into . . . it is something that we do.

Our eyes . . . looked past us to see . . . a distance . . . we didn’t want to see.

Hey love, I’ve found me dreaming again . . . of a time . . . of a time when . . .

My music inspired the years . . . dissolved our thinking into tears . . .

We owned a lifetime of promises . . . some now forgotten . . . some fulfilled.

(Instrumental)

We knew gentleness and where time was found.

We learned of friendship and it covered us like a sound.

But friendship . . . just has its time.  It rarely lasts . . . it just has its time.

It weakens.  It fades.  It changes its mind.  Yes, friendship . . . it just has its time.

And I lift outside of me . . . to see . . . the smile you wore . . . you wore for me.

And your dandelion hair bouquet . . . placed one-by-one by me.

And a leaf to my cheek  wakes me back . . . empty for you.
