The Making Stones Smile Project: The Day That Didn't Change My Life


There is a path between the Trees,
where sunlight stabs at flowers and bees
A path to thread with naked feet,
where I (had) hoped we two might meet
but I can see (that) I was wrong
I hope that you remain as strong (as now)
It’s not with me that you belong
And so I conclude, I cannot intrude, but I will remember this

I will remember
I will remember
I will remember
the day that didn’t change my life (refrain1 x2)

Refrain:
This is the day, this is the day
This is the day, this is the day
the day that didn’t change my life (refrain2 x 2)

I worry will you find your way
Between the nettles and the stony clay
And yes I did wait for you there
Thinking of paths that we might share
but I can see I was wrong
I hope you (do) remain (as) strong
It’s not with me that you belong
And so I conclude, I cannot intrude, but I will remember this

Refrain 1 + refrain 2

Interlude:
I’m safe behind these walls that I’m building up again.
You tore them down so easily, I don’t know if you meant to.
A brick’s a brick’s a brick’s a brick, but they’re all made of sand.
A castle on the beach to keep me safe from getting lost in wonderland.
