Time (For John Paul)

Verse 1:
Clocks unwind
So swiftly now
Winding gears turn to love
As time, time
Builds the cradle and the bough

Verse 2:
Children grow
They're lively metronomes
Bouncing springs they're hard to hold
As time, time
Quilts the hearth into the home

Refrain:
Time, time
Spilling down the stairs
Leading laughing children
To different chairs
And interlocking circles of
Time, time, time
Circles of time

Verse 3:
Memory
Life's history
Linking dreams to our hearts
As time, time
Knits our life and memory
