Name: Time Is Like a River
Duration: P00H02M45S
Description: One afternoon my friend Erik read me a Buddhist passage on the nature of time. We agreed that it seemed profoundly true. After he left, I tried to recall the passage, yet couldn’t quite remember how it went. A few days later I called him. He couldn’t quite remember which passage it was.

One afternoon my friend Erik read me a Buddhist passage on the nature of time. We agreed that it seemed profoundly true. After he left, I tried to recall the passage, yet couldn’t quite remember how it went. A few days later I called him. He couldn’t quite remember which passage it was.

lyrics

Time is like a river, you should know.
I can’t recall quite how,
it’s hard to say right now,

but I’ve got a set of new ideals.
I’m waking up so slow,
we may not ever know

all the things I want and all the things I feel
(they seem to take a toll,
I’m wondering what for).

Because my body’s asleep, my body’s awake.
I kind of think that’s all,
but my problems aren’t solved.

Time is like a river, you should know.
I’m traveling through space,
I’m sinking into place.
