Nowhere to be, and no sense of time
The old man wanders through his mind
He remembers being tied in the yard
The rope around his chest while they played cards
Watching clouds from the arms of a Hemlock tree
Hoping someday he’d be free
Slow motion drifter, going nowhere fast
Slow motion drifter, haunted by the past
Memories won’t last
He lived fast, the impossible dream
With miles to go, and miles unseen
Love and pain passed down the line
Cruel lullabies sung by the divine
Nilsson and Frost in the arms of his deathbed
Family wounds bleed the brightest red
Slow motion drifter, going nowhere fast
Slow motion drifter, haunted by the past
Memories born don’t last
The feelings….oh so vast
Where we going? No one knows.
How do we get there?
