Light reddens my room
Though the shade is cooler
The newer blooms are all so small
Spring hues have come and soon I will recall
That soon I'll wish for fall
I can't stand still and let things slowly change
I wish I could give
The breeze off the river
Deliver when you need the air
But if we're stuck apart then I'll go where
Some folks need more to share
I can't stand still and let things slowly change
Slowly, life's been slowly hovering
Over me, a force I'm still uncovering
Slowly, it's stifling and the feeling's strange
I can't stand still and wait for things to change
Just when did I make
The promise I'm breaking
I'm taking time to calmly rest
This ache is dull but I'd have never guessed
It's never been addressed
I can't stand still and let things slowly change
Slowly, life's been slowly hovering
Over me, a force I'm still uncovering
Slowly, it's stifling and the feeling's strange
I can't stand still and wait for things to change
