The Nineteenth Hole - Clepsydra

You were a small white ball rolling on the grass

Well, we were young and we didn‘t care

Why don‘t you sit down and take a rest

`Cause you look tired of turning in search of release

The world is with you, oh yes, with you

We‘re just someone you can count on

`Cause we are dreamers in a dreamer‘s land!

A dozen kids with no cares

We had to run through the day, and then laugh through the night

While you went to hole number nine

…a tear drop on our skin

There was a deep crack in being

But you still held your club

And a few dozen friends for that pain

We had to smile through the day…

As I see your mind in overflow

I carry you right through the door

The strength that you show from your heart

Is reflected in your eyes

And I see…

We had to smile through the day

And cry through the night

We stand strait and keep hoping

I know somewhere we realized…

`Cause we were fighting

I‘m sure you made the big part of it

You reached green number eighteen

We were on tee number three

And we were dreamers

I see us playing so careless in the classroom beside

And we were hundreds

When we were forced to realize

While we were drowning in rashness

You were on fairway nineteen…
