Prelude to Midnight
July 11, 2007


Face to the stars
We could forget where we are
Everything that we’ve done
We could forget what’s around us
Lines of fear and trust
So tired of the long run

In this prelude to midnight we could remember
And wait on finding the light and finding a center
Look up at the stars lit so long ago
Wander this road; don’t care where it goes
The leaves swirl ‘round in the fall-winter wind
End of a season, got an epoch to begin

…And I worry if the one thing that we miss
If I get too busy I’ll miss the moments like this
…And I worry if the one thing that we miss
If we’re caught up in the world, what we risk
…And I worry if the one thing that we miss
If there’s a second to spend with you and I pass
…And I worry if the one thing that we miss
What if something happens and it’s our last?

In this prelude to midnight we could remember
And wait on finding the light and finding a center
Look up at the stars lit so long ago
Wander this road; don’t care where it goes
The leaves swirl ‘round in the fall-winter wind
End of a season, got an epoch to begin
