Drifting Dreamer

Need someone to reign in your past
To make the current moments last
And when you drift to yesterday
To bring you back into today

Need one to tether you to now
And help you keep a solemn vow
To end the pain and the sorrow
Of any travel to tomorrow

Together we will catch the tide
The tide that time seeks to hide
The tide of rippling waves of change
That none of us can rearrange

Each wave is pregnant with endless dreams
Hopes and prayers burst at the seams
And when each wave of chance collapses
The present lives in our synapses

If the present lives inside our skull
Is the outside just an empty hull?
To live in now is nothing more
Than riding waves that break at shore

House of the Rising Sone
Out in the mid or far field
Dedicated mid-woofers are over-rated
