Jimmy Mac Carthy/Universal Music Publishing Group,
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
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
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
One bright blue rose outlives all those Two thousand years and still it goes To ponder his death and his life eternally
