summer 2019 from Ox-Bow by madeleine aguilar

The sunset reflected on the water
We ran as fast as we could to change
He said it was to dark to go in
But I begged and he let us in for a minute

We knew we'd remember this
I'm just glad I said yes

The procession through the middle of the forest
We filled the atmosphere with sound
And when the birds sang along
I couldn't believe it

She said she'd remember this
I'm just glad I asked

Where does the time go?
(On the floating dock)
Where does the time go?
(In the cupola)
Where does the time go?
(At the round table)
Where does the time go?
(Looking in through the window)

I woke up before dawn
(Keeping a promise)
We rode the canoe across the water
(Breaking the stillness)
As we waited for the sun to rise up above the trees
(Casting long shadows on the beach)
I knew that there was no where I would rather be

Where does the time go?
(On the floating dock)
Where does the time go?
(In the cupola)
Where does the time go?
(At the round table)
Where does the time go?
