about

A reflection on the passage of time

lyrics

Excuse me while I disappear, everything’s ok, it’s just my mind’s not here
I made the station just in time to punch my ticket on the memory line
Was it some not-quite-forgotten tune? Was it a picture , a place, a phase of the moon ?
You can ride for a long, long time; Get yourself a seat on the memory line
( Chorus)
As time runs like a freight train, years turn in a dream
And lifetimes sparkle like stars in the sky and move on
So long, so long, good bye

“Perhaps when I grow up someday” was what my Daddy used to say
We saw the twinkle in his eyes, there was so much we didn’t realize
That maybe we didn’t have to grow old, maybe it was just some lie we were told
You can always go back in time, just climb on board of the memory line
(chorus)
(Bridge)
These ghosts of the past keep tugging at my sleeve
Echoes of a childhood- do we ever really leave?

Excuse me while I slip away; something I heard my preacher say
He said “You can’t go back this time. It’s a one way fare on the memory line
So I get up each morning and I try to face a world that’s changing at such a pace
I think I’m already left behind standing at the station on the memory line
