Kaleidoscope

Hannah Rarity

Compositor: Hannah Rarity / Gordon Maclean

Your clock sits on the mantel now
Counting down the day
Black and white, in pictures proud
I think of you this way

Today is a kaleidoscope
It’s hard to see the view
Dazzling hues of red and gold
Mar my thoughts of you

Hours go by without one word
I thought I heard you laugh
We sailed around the South of France
In a better life long past

I heard a song, an old refrain
It led me from this place
I felt the breeze of summer air
Across my younger face

Grabbing life in moments
I dance and take your hand
Keep driving until morning
We’re nearly there, we disappear in the sand

Hours go by without one word
I thought I heard you laugh
We sailed around the South of France
In a better life long past
