The Changing Present

Oceans are changing and the tide is coming in
The world is going out and it's twisted all about
Until it's something new and there's only you
To remember what was, if only because ...

Time keep changing and the worlds keeps on fading
Falling so far away, nothing we hold ever stays.
This is your life: memories adrift on every passing breeze
And when the world changes it keeps changing stranger
But only you can recall for me the world as it used to be

Oceans are changing and the tide is coming in
The world is going out and it's twisted all about
Until it's something new and there's only you
To remember what was, if only because ...

Every time you save it the world forgets that
It was different place: there's this deepening space
We don't have words for, love we don't have mending for.
You're alone with your duty and lost in all that memory:
And when people ask what's new I never look at you.

Oceans are changing and the tide is coming in
The world is going out and it's twisted all about
Until it's something new and there's only you
Who could ever say it wasn't always this way
But you never say a thing ... no, you never say a thing ...
