Another Run Around the Sun

Well things got quicker here, another ring, another year

And here I find you at the start and the end

Almost certainly my younger ways will follow me

But I'll take each day with every breath that I'm sent

And as we're heading out, we'll drift apart then come around

And here I find you in the dwindling days

Oh, and so it goes, the river dries, the garden grows

It's spirals, inside spirals, phases, and waves

One by one, all the colours come undone

So bathe my bones in the rains that surely come

Because it grows or folds, that's the way the story goes

Oh, Lord, I'd swap each good thing that I've done

For one more run

Round the sun, round the sun

Round the sun, round the sun

Oh what becomes, round the sun

Oh what becomes, round the sun

So bring those sentiments, they're running thin so get 'em in

And here I find you in the green and the grown

All those shoots and leaves, when under weight, grow sideways

And these teeth grind pine to paper, seed beats the stone

Oh, now I know

These teeth grind pine to paper, seed beats the stone

One by one, all the colours come undone

So bathe my bones in the rains that surely come

Because it grows or folds, that's the way the story goes

There's time to make peace with this thing that I've become

In one more run

Round the sun, round the sun

Round the sun, round the sun

Oh what becomes, round the sun

Oh what becomes, round the sun

Oh what becomes, round the sun

Oh what becomes, round the sun
