Less Than a Day

The touch of your whispers has blown through the air And the wave of summer disappears in the sand There’s nothing to stop these memories are gone Let the playbook now rest for the feelings they’ve stopped Slowly it turns the small hands on your wrist The knots in your belly have clenched like a fist You picture the east and close her eyes For the dawn’s a coming in all of our lives The night’s now bleeding forever it tilts Circling the orbit no rest from the filth Rivers are flowing and spirits are dim And the skies from the ocean will always stand still The pain from the east has moved to the west These days are numbered just like the rest Blind in the rivers the hand clears it away The whole world has changed in less than a day
