"Dawn Is a Feeling"

I'm skipping back a bit in order to write about something I realized this morning.  A couple weeks ago I figured out the piano part for the first two verses of "Dawn Is a Feeling."  I don't think the piano in the third verse is played in the same manner as it is in the first two, but it does have the same structure.  Each chord lasts for four measures except for one (Ab major 7th, I think) under the line "It's true life flies faster than eyes could ever see" (beneath "eyes could ever" specifically).  That one chord change is faster than the others (it lasts only two measures), which musically reflects the notion of "fl[ying] faster than eyes could ever see."
