The Keeper

01 Feb 2008

Take what you can carry
Leave the rest behind
There’s no sense to even worry
Age is nothing but time

Permanence is a fiction
You must spend what you save
I have learned no convictions
It will all pass away

I am a keeper
Arranging hope
In the currency of paper
A dealer gone broke

CHORUS

When you write it down
Please remember me
Every line and phrase
Is a mystery

If all of my savings
Outweighed the cost
The interest gathered
Served to save the lost

CHORUS

Take what you can carry
Leave the rest behind
There’s no sense to even worry
Age is nothing but time
