Denise Lingman

sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
you're calling to me, I can't hear
what you've said
Then you say go slow
I fall behind
the second hand unwinds

if you're lost you can look--and you will find me
time after time
if you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
time after time

after my picture fades and darkness has
turned to gray
watching through windows--you're wondering
if I'm ok
secrets stolen from deep inside
the drum beats out of time--

If you're lost...
you said go slow--
I fall behind
the second hand unwinds--
if you're lost...
...time after time

time after time
time after time
