CAN'T STOP TIME

can't stop time
can't stop time

     can't stop wrinkles
     can't stop lines

can't stop aging
can't stop fading
can't stop changing

 

I'm not seven
I'm not nine
don't want sandboxes
don't want sand castles
don't want teen romance
can't stop time


can't stop time
can't stop time

     can't stop wrinkles
     can't stop lines

can't stop
just can't stop

 

like the dancer with the red shoes
she couldn't stop

I can't stop
and can't stop time


I'm not the same
feelings change
don't long for romance
so much has changed

just can't stop time
can't stop change
nothing the same
except change

who was that child?
who was that me?
who was that dreamer?
she isn't me

 

can't stop time
can't even pause
where are those feelings?
so much has gone

I'm not that child
not that young woman
aching longing
not forty fifty
change and more change

 

can't stop time
can't stop change
I'd never have dreamed
how much has changed

 

who is this me?
how can this be?
as far from that child
as from sun to the moon

who is this me?
how can it be?
who was that child?
so much desire

 

still desire
but not the same
so much has changed

 

no stopping time
no stopping time

time passes by
so much change
nothing the same

 

I'm not the same
     can't stop wrinkles
     can't stop age

     can't stop somthing else
     something else ...
     something deeper ...
     something has changed
     some things fade

 

can't stop what's in me
changing changing changed

A dozen years ago,
I began to wake up
with word pieces -
words music, spoken word, songs -
in my head.
Escape velocity.
Echo of the echo.
Tank almost empty.
Can't cross the gap.
Welcome into my world.
