about

My Uncle wrote this song, I added the bit about Charon (pronounced Car-on not Karen (but I didn't know that!)), and I tried my best to get a good recording of it. Sadly, this is what I got.

lyrics

Holding pieces, bits of time in hand
each one casts reflections.
Memories of better times,
but time is not possession.
Days are time; weeks are time.

You draw your hand before your face
seeing what beholds you.
Looking deep into the soul
of that which doesn't mold you.
Months are time; years are time.

Charon polling, ferry going
back to ignorance.

Holding deep within your heart
feelings that unfold you.
Harbors depth not on this chart:
an island we can row to.
Seeing time; holding time.

You cast your love then draw it near:
caress the holy temple.
Bless the gift that you hold dear:
repeat the love that found you.
Wanting time; holding time.
