Trails traveled
Slopes scrambled
Ponds paddled
And lakes lilly-dipped
Time raveled
Fortune gambled
Still something saddled me
All along my trip
This life’s been a series of six-month stints
Of semi-delirious, hushed-over hints
Of what might be, of what might come
When it all becomes clear
I’m moving on, I am...
I’m moving on
Feelings fathomed
Thoughts at random
Are quick to abandon
But slow to forget
It’s the elderly’s anthem
It’s the toddler’s tantrum
So commonly seldom
We responsibly regret
Life as a series of six-month stints
Of semi-delirious, hushed-over hints
Of what might be, of what might come
When it all becomes clear
You’re moving on, you are...
You’re moving on
‘Cause you got
Trails to travel
Slopes to scramble
Ponds to paddle
And lakes to lilly-dip
You got time to ravel
Fortune to gamble
Just don’t let nothing saddle you
On your trip
Don’t let nothing saddle you
On your trip
