You Had a Good Way

The sun moves fast across the skyline
The rays don't stay in a place that I want them to
So I take your face, resin from the day
And trap it in amber so I can say

That you had a good way about you on that day
But near becomes far and I hate that they are not in the same place
Cause you had a good way about you
I didn't have much to defend

But time laid chains around you
You fed the wolves right til the end
I couldn't play pretend

The clouds moved fast across the skyline
The long rains came and fell on a place I didn't want them to
So I drew your face, one last trace
Before you walked the other way
You had such a sad way about you on that day

But near becomes far and I hate that they are not in the same place
Cause you had a good way about you
Before your heart was formed by the storm

So I go my own way without you
There was too much to explain
I couldn't play your game

The sun moves fast across the skyline
And always remember that day in amber
And your face
Every September
