Before Time Lined Our Skin
We met when we were young before time lined our skin
leading us down the way
of aging what has been
We met when we were young before time held our verve
leading us down the line
of aging the bell curve
We met when we were young before time hurt our looks
leading us down the hill
of aging album books
We met when we were young before time dulled our sight
leading us down the lane
of aging the topflight
We met when we were young before time blew our minds
leading us down the road
of aging prudent finds
We met when we were young before time took our plans
leading us down the path
of aging the life-spans
