Elixir - Hemispheres lyrics

There are no mysteries that have beyond the boundaries That you and I contain and reach together Day and day there are no themes together that we do not explain And animate and act upon But we must live it out too close to see the shape We have no time to mark the way The sharp sun scratches into afternoon And knows tomorrow is already gone Though sharp sun scratches into afternoon Tomorrow's life and plight have been begun We ache to make forever hold our mark and all around the land That we have held is moving in the glare Our sight is spoiled oh hold me, my best crafts can only speak The city garbage-tips of what I seek But this embrace that all are simply at Is plan and planet ringed about with light The sharp sun scratches into afternoon And knows tomorrow is already gone Though sharp sun scratches into afternoon Tomorrow's life and plight have been begun Man on a barque around the hemisphere or shuffling molecules Or past the moon is home at last Is truly humbly one notated among seasons of the year Is not outside the mystery But here, the operative, the tool Let us begin with miracles The sharp sun scratches into afternoon And knows tomorrow is already gone Before the sharp sun scratches afternoon And our quick metals are all gone
