about

Sometimes ... things are just what they are, whatever they are. (Written November 1999.)

lyrics

Sometimes the wind blows softly, sometimes the wind blows cold
Sometimes the rain washes seeds away, sometimes the rain makes the crops grow
Sometimes a little bit of distance can make everything look clearer
Sometimes you can't get too far, it's staring back at you in the mirror

Sometimes you can be too rich, sometimes you can look too good
Sometimes all that fame and fortune won't make you the things you should
Sometimes flying's too slow, sometimes you walk too fast
One day we're all just children, the next thing, the years have passed

Be careful what you ask for, your wish just might come true
There's time to choose a new path. But time won't come back for you

Sometimes we think we run things, sometimes we lose control
Sometimes the time's just not right, even if you've paid the toll
Sometimes we sit and watch when there's something better we should do
Sometimes watching's wise than all those rushing fools

Be careful what you ask for, your wish just might come true
There's time to choose a new path, but time won't come back you

Somewhere there is a balance, I keep saying that it's true
I'll tell you when I get there, if I get there before you
Sometimes the wind blows softly, sometimes the wind blows cold
Sometimes I think we think too much, worrying just gets you old.
