Ripples of Time

Wally J. Bartfay and Stephen Wrench

Verse I

She doesn’t know where she’s going. Only where she’s once been.We’re all getting older, but that’s no sin. She’s a Hollywood Walk-of-Famer. But her hair has now turned greyer. Realizes she can’t fight growing old. Starring roles have all gone stone cold.Growing older and drinking imported red wine. She’s been living on ripples of time.

Verse II

Her glory days have long passed her bye. Her name was once written in the sky. Glory, fame, and fortune are a young girl’s game. Aging stars slowly lose their fame. High tide in the ocean. Catching the last ride with the boatman. Growing older and drinking imported red wine. She’s been living on ripples of time.

Verse III

Throw a stone into the lily pond. She still feels like a lost vagabond. Standing all alone, at her own headstone.They say that time heals all wounds, except for those of the heart. She knows it’s her time now to depart. Has to give-up her performing art. Growing older and drinking imported red wine. She’s been living on ripples of time.

Verse IV

Standing all alone in black, Reading her own memory plaque. Time has become a stranger. She once was once a Hollywood trail blazer. Too late to ask God for that last favor. Like a razor’s edge, life will cut you out of the blue. Who would have guessed? Who really knew? Growing older and drinking imported red wine. She’s been living on ripples of time.
