Vocal: About how life is delicate and fleeting like a blossom.

lyrics

Fighting fire with hoses, from a garden
Driving on a patrol, in the desert
Giving time to people, taking a chance
Cleaning floors and staring, in the distance
Closing off all the playgrounds, from the children
Turning off all the lights, at a fair
Seeing only shadows playing games
Why does normal feel, so far away

Throwing out the garbage, in an alley
Staying late and baking bread, at a store
Washing clothes and linens, making the beds
Taking in a breath, for a stranger

Waking up and playing, in the morning
Asking for a little help, through the day
Hoping for an ending, right at the start
Wishing for the time to just, go away

Finding peace and quiet, in a storm
Listening to a little light, from within
Grains of sand are falling in the hour
Time is short and fleeting, like a blossom
