lyrics

Never run fast as those still ahead
You’ll only feel calloused again and again
In thoughts that escape me
I wonder where they go
Just walking the conifers, the evergreens, and reaching firs
Maybe on a lake all alone

Never keep time with those still counting
The wins and the losses
Doubled in sewing
My second is writing, unrelating, and stopping
I can’t seem to catch it
In resolve so winded
In glory, in absence of you

You can only smile back so many times
With how are you answered often with a lie
I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m always fine
In all toxic strength, in frailty’s guise
We’ll hide all we’ve cried

I may be running home
But there’s so much I forgot
The weathervane's whisper through thistle to a stop
In pines, in dogwoods, an aviary’s thought
The tree frogs murmur, the light reassuring
Sifting out the worry and gone

Never run fast as those still ahead
Maybe I’ll make it back home to my bed
If I don’t, I don’t, maybe I won’t
But I’ll carve out the highway
In traveling retrograde
Back to your arms to show

I no longer care about those still ahead
Because they are, I am
I finally rest
If I make it home, I’ll make it there alone
With so much love, so much love, so much love to grow
