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?
