60 times around the sun
So much seen and so much done
A singing heart a sharpened mind
Work to fill the flow of time
And all the beauty you have known
And families bustling bumping in your homes
60 times around the sun
So much come and so much gone
Love can wrap you in its song
Love can bring a heart undone
The world spins like it doesn’t care
Just one more broken cup of fallen tears
We think we chart our destiny
But we float through space as in a dream
And love comes from a place unseen
To those who wear their heart upon their sleeve
60 times around the sun
The seasons roll in timeless thrum
Now summer’s left and autumn’s here
The light is softer through the autumn air
Feel the cool air coming in
Soon be time for settling deep within
60 times around the sun
Still there’s room for more to come
And somewhere on a wild hill
I hope there’s room for me as well
To sing with you in the rising sun
To feel the warmth spread deep within our bones
We think we chart our destiny
But we float through space as in a dream
And love comes from a place unseen
To those who wear their heart upon their sleeve
Well, the world spins faster every day
And once more we go round the sun
Now the summer’s come back round again
Another winter’s been and gone
Now we’re all hitting 60 something
More likely now to feel the weather
We’re less likely to feel the need for rushing
We’re all in this together
We think we chart our destiny
But we float through space as in a dream
And love comes from a place unseen
To those who wear their heart upon their sleeve
Our minds as light as fairies’ souls
Our bodies anchored to the ground
Get slow and clunk along below
Now we’re all hitting 60 something
More likely now to feel the weather
We’re less likely to feel the need for rushing
We’re all in this together
For all who we have come to love
In our calendars we mark the dates
But in the end who’s keeping score?
Who’s counting down the months and days?
Now we’re all hitting 60 something
More likely now to feel the weather
We’re less likely to feel the need for rushing
We’re all in this together
Maybe we could do the sums
To work out what is old or young
But better to judge a life by how full
And the love that will carry us on
Now we’re all hitting 60 something
More likely now to feel the weather
We’re less likely to feel the need for rushing
We’re all in this together
Here’s to a life fully lived
Here’s to a life filled with love
Here’s to a life with its heart on its sleeve
A life with a wisdom hard won
Now we’re all hitting 60 something
More likely now to feel the weather
We’re less likely to feel the need for rushing
We’re all in this together
age is just a state of mind
So here we are another year
Another date ticked off the
Not That speaks to us of averages
But we don’t live by laws of science
Still tentative
So much that won’t fit in a song
I want to know all you can tell
And sing it
And the write the verses on a howling/full force gale
I’ll show you mine
Stumbling onward
If I can touch your heart
But Summers gone and autumns here
You can feel the coolness coming in
The light is softer through the autumn air
Time for settling deep within
Back and forth between England & Oz
Two girls
Life keeps shining
So much life has come and gone
So much life still left to go
Time to catch the final rays of autumn sun
Get ready for the
Time To hunker down ‘til spring warms the sky
Time to talk deeply by the fireside
The whole world’s lost in a fallen tear
Spinning as we go
Reaching out for something to hold
To keep from being thrown
At times I thought I couldn’t face another one
Reaching out for warmth to find/hold
Sometimes something precious falls in our hands
At any time anything can fall apart
… leave you staring/ weeping with a bombed out heart
Children’s toys and broken hearts
