[rev. July 23, 2013]

Time is passing, stranger at the door
Nothing happened the way it did before
Mornings come, mornings go
I look for a face that I should know

I see heaven in a puddle below
A stitch in time I outta sew
I blow my trumpet for Jericho
I ask a question, someone says no

I lose myself in the lovely snow
I blow my due while I'm doing blow
I buy some tickets, too late for the show
I can't tell if you're a friend or a foe

I know that you're near
Just waiting for you to appear
I know that you're here

I jump a train for Saskatoon
I hop inside an igloo moon
I hope my prayers will be answered soon
I take the cotton out of my spoon

I know that you're near
Just waiting for you to appear
I know that you're here
I know that you're near
