Array ( [sid] => 8821 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Alone and Counting [time] => 2002-12-18 19:00:00 [hometext] => Another set of song lyrics. This one came to me during a walk along a road called spruce hill road in a place called Topsail. Since I'm sure you don't know where that is, it's in Newfoundland.

I find this road interesting because, out of the many I've walked on, this is the only one with a complete canopy of trees that criss-cross and create a roof of branches over the road.

It takes my breath away. [bodytext] => I have the time
To count the stars
But time to do so
Is seldom ours
So I count alone
And each wished upon star
Is accident prone

I have the time
To catch a falling star
But fallen wishes
Haven't helped so far
So I catch each one
And hold each hope
'Till forever is done

Chorus:

Let's count our moments
Like I do stars
And call them ours
Wishing components
To build a wish
We'll wish for this
The time to count
Together

As I count alone
The passing days
Each day is sewn
In strang ways
There's threads of happy
And hopeful minutes
And thoughts of you

(chorus)

I have the time
To count the stars
But time to do so
Is seldom ours
So I count alone
And each wished upon star
Is accident prone
