Pantoum

I know it, I feel it
The time has come to move on
The gong of time is reverberating
In the marrow of my bones.

The time has come to move on
The respite was a short one 
In the marrow of my bones
It is becoming harder to go on.


The respite was a short one 
It is a sure sign to leave
It is becoming harder to go on
We have tried, we have failed.

It is a sure sign to leave
There's no shame, there's no guilt
We have tried, we have failed
The thirty years loop is complete.


There's no shame, there's no guilt
Decisions have to be taken
The thirty years loop is complete
We are free to make them.

Decisions have to be taken
In that sense we are lucky
We are free to make them
Inspired by our friends.


In that sense we are lucky
Who have just done this
Inspired by our friends
In more difficult times.

Who have just done this
The gong of time is reverberating
Inspired by our friends
I know it, I feel it.
