[00:00.36]I was not put here by anyone in fear
[00:03.66]
[00:04.75]I came alone as me
[00:05.82]
[00:07.26]Just an idea in a long chain of discovery
[00:11.52]Surrounded by the same you
[00:13.96]
[00:15.57]Sometimes your tide pulls me out to sea
[00:18.22]And I die in a thrashing curse
[00:20.25]
[00:21.75]Sometimes we are kind
[00:23.19]
[00:24.62]More often I doze
[00:26.56]
[00:27.58]So far up the beach that those
[00:29.52]Who try to reach are burnt
[00:30.95]Alive in the searing heat
[00:32.51]Of the desert of my dispassion
[00:34.28]
[00:35.29]So far removed I never hear the water
[00:38.62]
[00:39.87]ExCept once or twice a month when I see a mirror
[00:42.63]
[00:44.20]And I refuse to believe in some of the things
[00:46.75]That are said to be here
[00:47.99]Let alone those that are not
[00:49.80]
[00:50.75]I'm trying to change my direction
[00:53.01]
[00:53.75]Ours is pathetic in my own humble estimation
[00:59.46]
[01:01.15]I love the planet
[01:02.02]
[01:02.91]The great benign she-wolf
[01:04.60]
[01:05.41]Benefactor
[01:05.99]
[01:06.98]Spinning gently on towards the red giant four aeons hence
[01:11.12]
[01:12.08]When all the rose gardens are consumed
[01:14.69]In the flash-fire of flying time
[01:16.57]
[01:18.06]She'll leave alone to you
[01:20.04]Hope - Anathema
[01:21.18]
[01:42.60]When you look at me
[01:45.29]
[01:45.80]From your own century
[01:49.13]
[01:49.94]I may seem to be
[01:53.27]Strange archeology
[01:56.65]
[01:57.60]But when the winds blow
[02:02.91]From this direction
[02:06.34]
[02:07.23]You may sense me there
[02:10.68]In your reflection
[02:14.26]
[02:15.59]I think I feel you
[02:18.95]But I will never know
[02:21.76]
[02:22.52]As the swallows leave
[02:25.73]
[02:26.53]And the children grow
[02:29.56]
[02:31.69]I wanted to live forever
[02:38.84]
[02:40.71]The same is you will too
[02:44.05]
[02:47.61]I wanted to live forever
[02:54.09]
[02:56.95]And everybody knew
[02:59.59]
[03:01.33]When I caught you there
[03:04.08]In tomorrows mirror
[03:06.93]
[03:08.68]I thought felt you
[03:11.13]Jump out of my skin
[03:13.96]
[03:16.72]Throwing oil into
[03:19.23]My blazing memories
[03:21.94]
[03:24.44]Filling empty footsteps
[03:27.46]I was standing in
[03:29.77]
[03:32.86]I wanted to live forever
[03:39.38]
[03:41.00]The same as you will too
[03:44.16]
[03:47.85]I wanted to live forever
[03:54.48]
[03:56.92]And everybody knew
[03:59.38]
[04:02.62]As the falling rain
[04:05.04]Of the northern jungle
[04:08.05]
[04:10.33]Hanging droplets on the leaves
[04:13.39]Bombards my brain
[04:15.74]
[04:18.45]I hear you
[04:20.19]
[04:21.39]Across the room
[04:23.63]
[04:28.04]A sea of daffodils spring into bloom
[04:31.75]
[04:34.99]You are the mist
[04:38.84]The frost across my window pane
[04:43.35]
[04:45.16]And again
[04:47.10]
[04:49.50]She moves her body
[04:51.75]And her whispers weave
[04:54.27]
[04:57.14]And the world spins
[04:59.20]And tells me that I'll never want to leave
[05:04.04]
[05:18.19]As I think of you
[05:21.19]From this dark century
[05:24.74]
[05:25.43]I will always be
[05:28.81]With generosity
[05:31.92]
[05:33.09]That we both may share
[05:36.60]The hope in hearing
[05:39.30]
[05:40.48]That we're not just
[05:43.31]Spirits disappearing
