Music Equals Time

Have you given consideration
To the connection to time
That music brings to mind
It doesn't bend or scry

It's a simple situation
Music equals time
Consider the consideration
The song defines the time

If you put yourself in Hendrix
The 60's are the time
If you put yourself in Mozart
The equation, the melody
It's a simple situation
Music equals time

So let yourself consider
The musical possibility
That music equals time
Then tomorrow you may awaken
In another place and time
Where time becomes forgotten
And the song becomes the guide

I can smell the smells of springtime
In a Vivaldi season you see
I can recall my first kiss
in a Carpenters Song , sublime
It's a simple situation
Music equals time

So if you need that deep vacation
Take a ride upon the song
Don't need to leave the homestead
Raise your voice and sing along
It's a simple situation
And it surely will remind you
That music equals time

Tony Taylor (Chicago)
