Where Does the Time Go? Lyrics
We will walk on a hill
Red hats and blue coats, and everything still.
Snow will cover until
We can't tell the sky from the ground.
Where are the buildings, the old wounds of mine?
Did I ever once cry?
Waiting for you to arrive,
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?
Friends have moved away,
One tree has come down, another one flowers and sways.
Miri was lost for five days.
From upstate at school one friend writes,
Everything is changing while the day sky stays blue.
Changing around him, and me without you.
Waiting for you to arrive,
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?
Balconies and flights
Of wooden stairs down to the water at low tide.
I'll carry you and we will walk in the light.
Waiting for you to arrive.
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?
Red hats and blue coats, and everything still.
Snow will cover until
We can't tell the sky from the ground.
Where are the buildings, the old wounds of mine?
Did I ever once cry?
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?
One tree has come down, another one flowers and sways.
Miri was lost for five days.
From upstate at school one friend writes,
Everything is changing while the day sky stays blue.
Changing around him, and me without you.
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?
Of wooden stairs down to the water at low tide.
I'll carry you and we will walk in the light.
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?

Wistful, brilliant, sad and heartbreaking but with an uplifting message at the same time, this is just a wee slice of heartbreaking brilliance that you come across in fleeting moments of your life. It'll make you sadder and break yer heart over if yer sad and have a broken heart; it may heal the broken heart you have but will tell you a deeper truth if ye can handle it, and it will hurt. But this song will always redeem you, it'll speak to you alone, and it will reflect some aspect of your life for sure.
Eleven years later and it still has the sheer beauty and power it ever had. An absolute work of art x
A true poet x
Months later and still no comments on this pure perfection x
