saving time

I face my fires straight on
I walk the high road, along the cliffs
I stand and stare and read
I repair the pieces of me that I have
left over

I am keeping the middle of myself safe
and secret
I won't let anyone near it now

I'm keeping the important things
safe and sound

I won't let this heart of mine
find trouble
I'm saving time

instead of heartaches I'll have
thundershowers and adventures
I'll fine the little missing pieces of
happiness I long ago forgot I had
I'll put it all back together
and I won't turn back
