Thieves' Kitchen - The Scientist's Wife lyrics

Time is a fallacy, But time is all I had to give him. Years of inconstancy Were my reward, I wash my hands of him. Plus ca change...he'll never change, He's fading to grey. Oh, to be very young, His everything, his only eyes for me! Sealed in our universe, With lines of force we drew our destiny. Such success, to one the pearl, The other the shell! We go back to the start again, We seem to go round and round Our own infinity; Charges flying apart again, We're spiralling round and round Our future history. In this magnetic age He stands alone, a fame apart from me. Lapses of memory, The empty days, the empty harmonies. When I sing, I sing alone; I'm fading to grey. We go back to the start again, We seem to go round and round Our own infinity; Charges flying apart again, We're spiralling round and round Our future history. We burned our potential in the core Of our future, even before. So hard to escape this, tangled still At a distance, we never will. No-one ever compelled me, I fell behind. Such bravado, a beautiful mind. Oh the days we wasted! Such bravado, a beautiful mind. Oh the days that we wasted, Far from the lighthouse, so much to find! Simple souls and a beautiful mind. Oh the fires we wasted! This prometheus, a radiant mind! Oh the days we wasted! Charming strangeness, a beautiful mind. A beautiful mind.
