There were nights we made of cherries
burning in the coffee cup
Other times it laid with coins
filling till it couldn't stand up
O the future, of remains
A remainder all the time

And the oar became a flame of fire you held your hand to
And your mouth a cage you kept
a choir that wandered through
O the future, remains
A remainder all the time

Our time's the remainder of the sum
Minus cost, plus where you're coming from
I know you will be fine
You'll improvise
It's easy, you'll show
I know

Beyond the line, it goes
And modifies
As it grows
To the coming course
We will be waiting for
'Cause we know what we owe
We don't know when, though

Our time's the remainder of the sum
Minus loss, plus what you make up
I know you will be fine
You take your time
It's easy, you'll show
I know

So take your time, and mine
Go easy
