I didn't know what I loved until I was gone
I walked far and wide
And finally looked back
But it'd been too long so I never did say
Goodbye or try
To tell myself why
And time? Well it did what it's doing now
It goes so slow at first
When you're a child
And as you are tamed
It becomes more wild.
Seems like I'm always up and walking away
Some walk through life
But I walk away
It's not that it's easy, it's just that I can't stay
Because of time
Banished by change and time
And it'll do what it's doing now
It goes so slow at first
When you're a child
And then as you are tamed
It'll become more wild.
(solo)
Some people are afraid they'll go and miss an old something
So they go back and try, try to relive
Those long long hours in their long memories
But I know better, long gone on that road called time
Well it's done it's job now
It went so slow at first
When I was a child
And then I was tamed
And now time is more wild.
