Listening - A Trace of Time

Have you seen a photograph that's
Painting a forgotten story
Heard a singer sing a
Song of forgotten glories

Why don't we believe
What we can't touch or see
Why can't we perceive
The lasting trace of time

Have you read the final words
Written by dying hand
The sea will wash away the
Message in the sand

Those words I could not read
I didn't know what they said
With certainty or doubt
The living and the dead

They catch me when they can
The remains of thoughts and feelings
All that's come and all that's gone
Listening

They catch us when they can
The remains of thoughts and feelings
All that's come and all that's gone
Listening

Have you felt the phantom touch
The graveyard urge to whistle,
Pages of an open book
The lasting trace of time

Is it so strange
Surrounded as we are
All that was said and done
Still around us now

They catch me when they can
The remains of thoughts and feelings
All that's come and all that's gone
Listening

They catch us when they can
The remains of thoughts and feelings
All that's come and all that's gone
Listening
