Annie Haslam - Turn of the Century lyrics

Realising a form out of stone Set hands moving Roan shaped his heart Thru his working hands Work to mould his pa**ion into clay Like the sun In his room, his lady She would dance and sing so completely So be still, he now cries I have time, oh let clay transform thee so, love In the deep cold of night Winter calls, he cries, don't deny me For his lady, deep her illness Time has caught her And will for all reasons take her In the still light of dawn, she dies Helpless hands soul revealing Like leaves we touch, we learn We once knew the story As winter calls he will starve All but to see the stone be life Now Roan no more tears Set to work his strength So transformed him Realising a form out of stone, his work So absorbed him Could she hear him Could she see him All aglow was his room bathed in this light He would touch her He would hold her Laughing as they danced Highest colours touching others Did her eyes at the turn of the century Tell me plainly How we meet, how we'll love Or let life, so transform me Like leaves we touched, we danced We once knew the story As autumn called and we both Remembered all those many years ago I'm sure we know Was the sign with a touch As I kiss your fingers We walk hands in the sun Memories when we're young Love lingers so Was it sun thru the haze That made all your looks Warm as moonlight As a pearl, deep your eyes Tears have flown away All the same light Did her eyes at the turn of the century Tell me plainly When we meet how we'll look As we smile time will leave me clearly Like leaves we touch, we search We will know the story As autumn calls we will both remember All those many years ago
