lyrics

You can save it for the train.
You can stop and hesitate but not for long.
You can wait until the Spring
or the beauty death will bring in the Fall.

Oh, but no one, dear, can tell you what to do.
No one, dear, can call for your next move.
It's the constant flaw of human thought to waste and justify.
You can choose it all or call it off tonight.

Have you found what you love most?
Oh, well, I'm still sick of being stuck on the motor coach.
Is not everything a blessing?
All the trials and bad directions you have chosen?

Can you learn to speak when you have words to say?
Can you think of times not now nor yesterday?
Understand what comes for free.
Life will not fall into your lap.
You can dig for gold or let it sit untapped.

Is this time a holy path
all aligned with pasts and futures of your life?
Are you searching with a wooden rod
for a pearl under a thousand pounds of Earth?

Oh, a treasure lies between the monuments -
a fortune you will keep for finding it.
In the middle of your memories:
a place you've never seen.
You can run to it or let it stay between.
