One by one The days fall beside us Like yellow leaves We have no conscience Oh, what we're becoming
Month by month, The rings on our tree trunks, Like old wise eyes, Grow wider and winter Lends them a dead disguise

Age by age, We rhyme with our seasons' Rehearsed routines Still turning And returning
Now I'm wide as the ocean Now I bleed roses And you are just a mark on the map of my past But I am a road I wind along alone All day until the coast
