Ever Changing

The clouds are moving 'cross the midnight sky
There's a chill in the air that makes me wonder why
Do we look up to the heavens in the middle of the night
Are we looking for something that's not quite right
Then the storm comes crashing and the rain falls down
And I jump into a puddle as I listen to the sounds
Soon the sky lights up with the flashes from the storm
And the wind chill's gone and it's decidedly warm

Ever changing
Life is never as it seems
Ever changing
Melting like a moment from a dream

Now a warm wind's blowing and the rain has stopped
So I peel off my jacket yet the temperature has dropped
So I take a little walk to try to dry my shoes and socks
And the time is sounding from the old church clock
The moonlight flickers and the stars begin to shine
And I take another sip from my bottle of red wine
I stop for a moment and I breathe in the air
And I realise at last that I'm going nowhere

Moments, ever changing visions that pass
Ever changing, moments captured in dreams
Moments, like prisms shining right through your glass
Ever changing, never quite as it seems

Ever changing
Life is never as it seems
Ever changing
Melting like a moment from a dream
