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 death 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 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



One bright blue rose outlives all those

Two thousand years and still it goes

To ponder his death and his life eternally
