Walk along, slowly now
No time for, turning back
Half a change, fooled no one
It’s too late, for that

Simple down, clears the sky
Who’s to say, when it’s wrong
We are here another day
And now, it is on

We talked about, what used to be
That time, that, never was
Half afraid, to tell someone
As we crossed, their bounds

Oh the time, you’d fade away
But then, returned, to town
The curtain calls, don’t act that way
The leaves have, start, to fall

Simple down, clears the sky
Who’s to say, when it’s wrong
We are here another day
And now, it is on

Tempo pace, winds each day
As thunder starts to pound
Reach the steps, by the lake
Climb until you know

Simple down, clears the sky
Who’s to say, when it’s wrong
We are here another day
And now, it is on
