lyrics

Rosalind was 35, 7 years since her husband died, she hid her life
in her bedside table drawer
Then one day she awoke to find a catacomb to a distant time
hidden underneath her kitchen floor

She waited til her kids had gone, climbed on in with her gym clothes on,
and brought along some trail mix as a snack
She took 4 steps and shined her light, the tile floor fell out of sight,
and she walked on and never looked back

(Ah Oo) time to move along my dear
(Ah Oo) there is nothing for you here, I said
(Ah Oo) take it one step at a time
(Ah Oo) there’ll be footprints left behind

Ollie built a flying machine, but he only flew where the leaves were green,
so he never stayed in one place for too long
When autumn found his new resting place, he’d throw his shit in his one suitcase,
and fly off before he knew where he was going

His only friends were sunny skies, he’d been around the world 6 times,
so he thought deep down he’d earned a little fame
But when flying over his hometown he said he’d finally settle down,
but no one there could still recall his name

(Ah Oo) time to move along my dear
(Ah Oo) the skies are looking clear, I said
(Ah Oo) take it one step at a time
(Ah Oo) there’ll be footprints left behind

Annabel had 7 sons, the youngest not quite 21,
he’d be leaving home in 7 days
Unsure what the future holds and unsure how to be alone,
Annabel kneels by her bed and prays

Wed at only 17, he split town ‘83, said he was in search of something more,
So Annabel sits in her chair and listens for a sound and stairs
ahead just waiting for someone to knock upon her door

(Ah Oo) time to move along my dear
(Ah Oo) there is nothing left to fear, I said
(Ah Oo) take it one step at a time
(Ah Oo) there’ll be footprints left behind
