Brief Time - Trey Anastasio

It’s such a brief time we get to be here

All together, as friends, they come and go

We stand in streams of water and circle 'round the sun

Until our time is done

It’s such a brief time we get to be here

Crystal memories shimmer in my mind

Of laughing all together, I will always cherish

'Til the end of my time

And what was I so worried about?

What a waste of time

I can’t even remember now

I’ve seen smiles on passing faces

In the long unending line

It’s such a beautiful world

And such a brief time

It’s such a brief time we get to be here
