Track Two from my upcoming album

There’s always time for a change

That’s what she believed

And one day she swore

I’ll be making one of my own

And she didn’t tell anyone

So nobody knew

But in her heart

Was the firmness of certainty

And the years kept going by

She never forgot who she was

Even when she forgot

Who everyone else had been

And she didn’t tell anyone

The way her mind

Kept playing tricks

Even while her heart remained steadfast

And the years kept going by

Until the day came when it was time and she knew it was time and she told everyone who would listen It’s Time and even a few people who wouldn’t listen because if it was time for anything it was time to stop worrying

About what anyone else thought

And that’s the day she got on her lawnmower

And she rode into the distance

And while that engine rumbled underneath her

She smiled because she knew

There were some things you can’t take away from a woman

No matter how hard you try

And one of those things

Is a weed-whacker

And the years kept going by

These days she sits by the front door, raising her glass to passersby and watching the grass

And on her face

That same smile says

I knew since I was a girl

There’s always time for a change

And the years kept going by
