This is my favorite. It's just beautiful, and really struck a chord with me. I have listened to it many times. Like many of your songs, in theme and language and imagery, it is so much like my own work. - Ethan

Lyrics

I took you all for granted...for much too long
But you never know just what you got until it’s gone
You think you have all the time in the world to do...what you do
But time...is coming for you

I thought that I possessed the power to slow it down
But I found the best that I could do...was look around
And touch the fading images before they go...to the light
Like ships....that pass in the night

Here and now
now and then
when it comes around again

You go along for the ride
I’ll always be by your side
We’re going in, flowing out
Like tears you’ve cried
Two drops of water in the tide

I’m keeping secrets from my children and my wife
No matter what I say the words don’t come out right
The greatest gift that anybody gave to me
Was to love me....and set me free

It tears me up
I let you down
But every time it
Comes around

You go along for the ride
I’ll always be by your side
We’re going in, flowing out
Like tears you’ve cried
Two drops of water in the tide
