Fickle Friend

Time oh fickle friend descend
through memories rely
trust in who you were to spur
the truth in aging eye
We cannot hope to change it
speed it up, it's left to chance
like sands that shift from depths to lift
these dreams we dare to dance
Visioned apparitions
records played in haunting rhyme
until the song is finished
or diminished death's design
Time oh fickle friend pretend
you know not what's in store
never quite enough entrust
those dreams we're living for
Memories made do thoughts persuade
to choose and choice remind
fickle friend til death descend
for all we have is time
