Here I go, always there

Watching you, half in despair

Why I can’t seem to understand

The way you walk on shifting sand

And yet I know it’s not my call

Still it hurts to watch you fall

Pulling back and standing still

Try not to care, but always will

 Here I go around and round again

Never ends

The sky is falling down and I can’t help this time

And I don’t mind

Back again, same old place

Each new line across your face

Two years younger, but still so old

A little girl but half so bold

I watch my mouth, hold my breath

Summer shades of life and death

Holding on, hoping for

That little girl to want something more

Here I go around and round again

Never ends

The sky is falling down and I can’t help this time

And I don’t mind it, 

I hope you'll find it.
