Running For Gold

Racing past the lilacs with your hand held tight in mine
Running for gold in the cool morning light
It’s nothing and everything, it's never quite enough
Letting you go while I’m holding you up

Time just keeps carrying through

Playing by the maple, a flower in your hair
The drone of the bees filling dead summer air
The heat comes in waves like the moon pulls the sea
The ebb and the flow, slipping out of my reach

Time just keeps carrying through

I wouldn't trade these days
For anything

Watching through the twilight as a faraway star
Pokes through the curtain, a hole in the dark
The magic of the little moments, written on your face
I'll give all I can, 'til it's all I can take

Time just keeps carrying through
