FUTURE PAST

Rain streams down the window
And I recall the day we ran and how
On Brownsea Island meadow
You couldn't catch me then, you wouldn't catch me now
If it's only memory
Echoing down the hallway
In whisper as you come to me
We are growing closer
So don't you cry
For what will never last
Each moment created in time
It's all a future past
That we are living now
Change is coming down the line
I give thanks if that much stays the same
This life is not to our design
Could not have known it then, but now I see it plain
If all we are is memory
Doorways on a garden
The flowers of a century
We are growing stronger
So don't you cry
For what will never last
Each moment created in time
It's all a future past
That we are living now
So don't you cry
For what will never last
Each moment created in time
It's all a future past
So lay your gaze
On what will ever last
Each moment in time we create
It's all a future past
And we are living now
