Tortoise Of Independency
Archie Marshall
Strokes out silent, soft
It's been a while since her days have been
And in the cavernous sheets
She feeds a tortoise of independency
Why do you walk with me so slow?
Said I walk like I'm in a trance
And I spoke
I said, "I just want this moment to last and to last"
See those figures wait alone
On the park bench of memories
It's been and gone
And yeah, I think about the dreams I've had for so long
So long, so long, so long, so long
