We're About 9 - All The Time lyrics

I expected to see you racing around Like a lovebird in search of her soul's other sound Majestic and frantic like wake from a falls Or saving the world from nothing at all All the time All the time But Erin the third time that I called your name I could tell that you would never answer again Then you packed up your memories and headed away Still I bellow your calling out even today All the time All the time Like a rocking chair On a mountain top You are sitting there offering promise And the wind cradles you Like an art form so rare For the story that must have carried you there Now, I have my hobbies and I have my games (Pick-up-sticks, backgammon, solitaire,) Today I changed the picture in our old oak frame (And I play chess on both sides of the board on some Saturdays) To a painting I made of a photo inside (When I see petals I count them, when I see edges I straighten them) That your father once took of me and my bride (When there's a mess I sort through the memories of me and my bride) It's you in your white gown, it's me in my bow tie You with your blushing cheeks, me with my happy eyes It's you with your parasol, it's me with my hat Now we'll go down in history looking like that All the time All the time So much of this time you've been by my side It's been your heart and mine Now it's me and my great divide It's me giving each day a fair try It's you and the mountain It's you and the sky It's me wanting to come home to you All the time All the time Like a rocking chair On a mountain top You are sitting there offering promise And the wind cradles you Like an art form so rare For the story that must have carried you there For the story that must have carried you there For the story that must have carried you there
