I skimmed across black water, without once submerging
Onto the banks of an urban morning
That hungers the first light, much much more
Than mountains ever do.
And she like a ghost beside me, goes down with the ease of a dolphin
And emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed
For she is the perfect creature, natural in every feature
And I am the geek with the alchemists' stone.
Chorus
For all of you who must discover,
For all who seek to understand,
For having left the path of others
You find a very special hand.
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time
And it is the only way
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes
To ponder his d**h and his life eternally.
Chorus
For all of you who must discover
For all who seek to understand,
For having left the path of others
You find a very special hand.
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time,
And it is the only way
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes
To ponder his d**h and his life eternally.
One bright blue rose outlives all those
Two thousand years and still it goes
To ponder his d**h and his life eternally.
