Windmill

I’ve been a windmill on the move
For so much longer than I planned
Deflecting all the heavy news
Spinning round in circles while staying the same

Thought I’d be fine, thought I’d be fine
Churning away the little dangers
But now I’m behind, now I’m behind
Wondering where time has gone

She tried to teach me to be still
So she could fly into my soul
But I had a force she could not kill
And I blew her in the distance like others before

Thought I’d be fine, all would be fine
They’re nothing but undeserving strangers
I should have paid mind, I should have paid mind
Believe me, I will from now on

Thought I’d be fine, all would be fine
Churning away the little dangers
But I gotta let time, I gotta let time
Blow in beyond my arms

I’ve been a windmill on the move
For so much longer than I planned
