Wading in the Velvet Sea

(Anastasio/Marshall)

I took a moment from my day

wrapped it up in things you say
mailed it off to your address
you will get it soon unless

the packaging begins to break
and all the points I tried to make
tossed like thoughts into a bin
as time leaks out, my life leaks in

You won’t find moments in a box
and someone else will set your clocks
took a moment from my day
and wrapped it up in things you say
And mailed it off to you
