The Light Is Changing
(Ove Ritola)

The light is changing
And it's the shades I've grown to know that usher in the change
When they move and change their form, can’t tell if they’re the same

My life is changing
All the lines around my eyes, a new one every day
Traces of regret and lies, of fears and pains

Everything goes to waste
Nothing stays the same
Everything decays
Before long

The time is changing
It’s so long and longer still it stretches on and on
It runneth over my free will though I won’t know it’s gone

My mind is changing
And the fire in my soul has died out in the rain
All the colors of my life have blackened into stains

Everything goes to waste
Nothing stays the same
Everything decays
Before long
