Numbered Days

After all that has been said and down
Have the tolling of the bells begun?
I never realized the way we could have been
I never recognized the hurt you held within - held within

No doubt the waves are pulling back, pushing past
Cold out - the clouds are moving fast, sky at last
Gone numb, the pain is taking you making you succumb
The time is overdue, almost through

But it can't take away the thought of summer days
Laughing in the sun, a life that's just begun - just begun

Gazing backward through the broken mirror
The end is closer than it first appears
Overgrown; the trees we used to climb
All the echoes seem to fade with time, fade with time

No doubt the waves are pulling back, pushing past
Cold out - the clouds are moving fast, sky at last
Gone numb, the pain is taking you making you succumb
The time is overdue, almost through

But it can't take away the thought of summer days
Laughing in the sun, a life that's just begun - just begun
