I have written enough, there's enough to sing
I have written enough, there's enough to sing
for a song of remembering
For a song of remembering
Everything moves, everyone's laughing
Everything moves, everyone's laughing
moving through the city of passing
Moving through the city of passing
I've written enough, enough for a while
I've written enough, enough for a while
I've written enough, enough for a while
I've written enough, enough for a while


Now everyone moves beyond the past
Not everyone moves beyond the past; everything moves
Everything moves
But outside these photographs
But outside these photographs
everything dies - the cycles of time
Everything dies—the cycles of time
Everyone is passing, passing, passing
Everyone is passing, passing, passing, passing through
passing through


I remember these streets, I remember these spaces
I remember these streets, I remember these faces
No one here ever ages
No one here ever ages
Angels fronting machines crowding the streets
Angels from machines crowding the streets;
there must be some kind of factory where  
There must be some kind of factory where
the angels are made to just be replaced
The angels are made to just be replaced;
I've written enough, enough for today
I've written enough, enough for today


Now everyone moves beyond the past
Not everyone moves beyond the past; everything moves
Everything moves
But outside these photographs
But outside these photographs
everything dies - the cycles of time
Everything dies—the cycles of time
Everyone is passing, passing, passing
Everyone is passing, passing, passing, passing through
passing through


Passing, passing through
The angels are made to just be replaced;
I've written enough, enough for today


Now everyone moves beyond the past
Not everyone moves beyond the past; everything moves
Everything moves
But outside these photographs
But outside these photographs
everything dies - the cycles of time
Everything dies—the cycles of time
Everyone is passing, passing, passing
Everyone is passing, passing, passing, passing through
passing, passing, passing
passing through
 
Passing, passing through
Passing, passing through
For a song of remembering
A song of remembering
