Sometime ago

Sometime ago

Sometime ago
when I was a bit more naive
I used to believe that
forever lasted

but the real forevers last in moments
moments lived
sometime ago.

Happy people

What a sound oh
what a sound
for it lifts the ground
and makes us found.

When I look around
and realize there will never
be another you.

Mumbles

If you're ever on the wrong
side of the street and nothing
seems to bring you solace
just look to the sky and
clouds will wave good bye.
