Where or when things past
I know not the window of time
does it matter, why do you ask

Can you stop a runaway train
traveling on the wrong track
clickety-clack in falling rain

Standing on a lonely platform
watching arrivals & departures
trying to weather the storm

Where or when things past
I know not the window of time
does it matter, why do you ask

Can you start a new soul journey
if you’re stuck in some muck
should it even concern me

I could write heartfelt verses
would you feel my poetic words
unlocking the mysterious universe

Where or when things past
I know not the window of time
does it matter, why do you ask

Can dreams change our direction
can we intersect at the crossing
leading us on a path of transition

The wheels of time can be cruel
singing the ballads of yesterday
thinking of you, feeling blue

Where or when things past
I know not the window of time
does it matter, why do you ask
