Another Day

And as he went away, the children didn't laugh and didn't play. Upon their faces teardrops lay, for he would not return this day. Time Tells Tall Tales. Tallest of them all, it's absolute! As in the shadows sunshine lay asleep, There's nothing to be feared in passing. The hours of the day are just amassing, 'cause there is no-one left to call them back and age is less than just good luck; it's will and braving wantonness - oh, life is such a mess! So he went away. One might say, his way's astray, But, truly, it's the only way to reach his home. He didn't need a sterling throne To rest his head, to cure his bone, Eventually, that's all just overthrown And life is lived another day, another day. Another day... And then! The old men laughed and played And smiles upon their faces stayed For his arrival was no more delayed. And as he came And sunshine passed the rain They knew their tears where cried in vain.
