Nine;

ya zaman, ya zaman, ya zaman

oh father time, she says

won't you slow down for me?

i don't think He can 

even if He wanted to

the oud is strung while the dervishes spin

&

there's little lines where her smile fades

but the mischievousness never will

grandmothers/grandfathers and all the love they'll never show

from a world her children do not know

from a world her parents were never from

(oh, generations)

your oriental mind weighs heavy now

the burden of another Atlas, they say

running/run/running

did you stop to see his smile in the sun?

there's a laugh carried by the wind 

i hear it now.

i see what i couldn't before,

the blur comes to a halt;

and there you are in front of me

and there i am in front of you.

Jesus Christ;

this took me back. fresh beginnings; new smiles. 

old friends & forgotten lyrics/

this song took me back. 

he wasn't hers anymore but he still showed me the songs that reminded him.

and here we are. 

this took me back because i'm back.

the darkness isn't as scary anymore 

maybe it's because i know when i turn around,

i'm going to see that he's always been right behind me.

transported back in time; slingshot me to what's to come. 

this song took me back to you.
