When Time Was on Their Side

Squeeze your eyes
And travel through the stars
The crimson clouds of Mars lilt

Hopscotching on the sand
Preparing for a game again

So near the gates
Still playing hide and seek
Someone to take a peek wait
Wait wait
Wait please wait
It's the last day
When the time is still on our side
When the friends are still by our side
When their time was still our friend

No tick of clock we're laying on the dock
And tracing in our pond sun

No sign of luck
Let's chase the ice cream truck
For popsicles and shade heat

Their burning feet

Draw fill the bathtub rings away

Are you on our side?
Or are you on their side

It's the last day when the time
Was still on our side
When our friends are still by our side
When their time is still our friend
It's the last day
