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.
