After holding on to nothing for quite a whileI glanced to see what waited thereA shadow leaning easy by a windowA scent of something reason in the airNothing runs faster than time at nightBut time slows down every dayAll of those hours with nothing to doHolding nothing again todayAnd sunny days can fool youThey can lurk wet with rainAnd even words from a friend can bring back the painMemories come back on their ownAnd birds fly south in the skyPictures are drawn, pencil sketches at dawnWishes that I, too, could flyAnd sunny days can fool youThey can lurk wet with rainAnd even words from a friend can bring back the painAll the pictures I see are smiling at meToday I'm somebody newNot really knowing, just coming and goingA stranger just passing through*
