I lose track of minutes, I lose track of hoursPlanting my spinach and cauliflower in my backyardNot so long ago, I watched time spin around on my wristBut now time goes all slow, as fast as the fish bite on my lineWildflowers grow and I think they knowThat their sons and daughters will appear here next to you once againThey'll be here next to you once againI lose track of days, I lose track of weeksWatering my potatoes and my leeks from the creekI watch the birds swoop down and catch a fishA worm as they wait for the eggs to hatch, to hatchThe redwoods grow so slow you'd never knowBut their rings can tell us things we'd never know, never knowOh yea rings can tell us things we'd never knowI lose track of months, I lose track of yearsHarvesting my turnips and oiling my gardening shearsThere's no time for love todayToo many things from ? in the wayBut I could have sworn that this was worth moreIn a sigh amidst the tornadoNo more tears in my ears lying awakeNo more fears, restless years of heartacheBut I could have sworn that this was worth moreThan a moonrock planted on the moonBut there's no time for love tonightOne last hug and kiss goodnight Aus Songtexte Mania
