John Westwood songs
I want to rewrite this but will have to first catch up with ( the missing ) George Hanlon
Lines of Time
lyrics by: john westwood/george hanlon
music by: george hanlon
10/25 – 11/9, 2005
Every line on his face
has found the right place
the fit is like a glove
a gift from heaven
straight from above
and it’s held with dignity
He's really not that old
not like his face will show
but he really needs to know
We are all there with him
wearing the same old skin
yet he’s inside trying to hide
I want to be there for him – just like a long lost friend –am I inside trying to hide
I'm not so youthful
my race is almost done
I have kind of just grown old
I don’t want your pity
don’t need to hurry
am I inside trying not to hide
a stranger we meet
the friend we’ll greet
soon, the child retreats
holding himself that way
waiting his turn to say
There but for the grace of time
Lines of time with dignity.
There but for we go
the grace of time
and the chance to end of it all
with dignity
