Do you agree That every day slips into night Every word is a lie? A movement of lips Gone as fast as a kiss From a lover of just one night Everyone I love will die I am only A moment to a mountain A droplet to the sea And the ancient seeds live in me I know the river She's a friend of mine Sparse and serpentine She lives her freedom And I live mine Can she always be that kind? Can she always be that kind? Steer me away from The minutes and the hours into The desert and the pines Time away from time Time away from time The light lingered longer And we found some other stones to turn Another prophecy to burn I feel the swell Surround me from time to time There are still mountains in my mind Steer me into The valleys and the orchards The desert and the pines Time away from time Thoughts away from mind Steer me into The sweetness of the sea And the ether of the sky Time away from time Time away from time
