Catch the Days

Washington, D.C.
August 2003

Destroy a song for yesterday
And the tempest and the Taliban are all
Foundations of your unrest.
Right the wrong, everyday
Tire along the way
Falling out of faith to bitterness.

But if there's time, when there's time, I'd like to change your mind.
If there's time, when there's time, I'd like to change your mind.
If there's time, there's always time, I'd like to change your mind.
You and me shouldn't be always so harried & hurried & hated.

Revalation woman in uniform
Right to refuse to conform.
I pulled you tight to keep you warm
And watched your sleeping form
In our makeshift bed in the sand.

And the kids at William & Mary cannot understand.
And the boys who play at war cannot understand
And a nation at peace will never understand
The coming storm, a greater force, your quiet core.

We'd chase the sun across America
Reading right to left.

We'd chase the sun across America
Reading right to left.

We'd chase the sun
Across America
Reading right to left.

I can almost catch
I can almost catch
I can almost catch
The days.
