Pieces of the puzzle gone Thrown away or else been bronzed Not the kind of thing you put your finger on But some were left just like they were Fragile things—even undisturbed But strong enough to drop you like a bomb
Did you know, did you know, did you know? Did you know, did you know, did you know?
Seven, and eight, and nine Four more in racing time The future unrolled like a ball of twine And all those summers since Slowly killing all suspence The past as worthless as an empty mine
Did you know, did you know, did you know? Did you know, did you know, did you know?
It was a hidden thing—even I did not understand Oh, the broken ring-time is hard on every man
Moments held between Two kids and infinity I will remember every thing
Did you know, did you know, did you know? Did you know, did you know, did you know?
