I skimmed across black water, without once submerging
Onto the banks of an urban morning
That hungers the first light, much, much more than the
Mountains ever do
verse 2
And she like a ghost beside me, goes down with the ease of a dolphin
And emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed
For she is perfect creature, natural in every feature
And I am the geek with the alchemists' stone
Bridge
For all of you who must discover,
For all who seek to understand,
For having left the path of others
You'll find a very special hand
verse 3
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 death and his life eternally
verse 4
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 death and his life eternally
Verse 5
One bright blue rose outlives all those
Two thousand years and still it goes
To ponder his death and his life eternally
