The Visit

I'm so glad that you stopped in And I had some things to say But now they've been forgotten They'll get said a different day They'll get said a different way 'Cause everything keeps changing Life is always raging Beyond the walls and cages Everybody changes Til tomorrow's yesterday I'm so glad that you stopped by And I will not ask you why It's just good to see you You always make me smile And you always make me sigh Sometimes I still wonder Why the sounds of distant thunder Always pulled you under Why you searched, but never found her Why she always got away And somewhere on the hill Inside the past we hear the bells Catching only parts of thoughts And fragments of ourselves Till we begin again I'm so glad that you are here And I know that it's been years I'm just glad to see you And there's no need for tears Time's best friend is fear That's how it can find us And do it's greatest kindness Always to remind us That it's our only time inside This body and this mind And somewhere in my mind Behind closed eyes, I see the past Catching every moment that went by To make it last till I begin again La la la la la la la
