Turn Of The Century
(专辑: Keys To Ascension 2 - 1997)
Realising a
form out of stone, Set hands moving. Roan shaped his heart, Through his working hands. Worked to mold his passion into clay, Like the
sun. In his room, his lady, She would dance and sing so completely. "So be still," he now cries, "I have time, oh let clay transform thee so." In the
deep cold of night, Winter calls, he cries "Don't deny me!" For his lady, deep her illness. Time has caught her, And will for all reasons take her. In the
still light of dawn, she dies. Helpless hands soul revealing. Like leaves we touch, we learn. We once knew the
story. As winter calls he will starve, All but to see the
stone be life. Now Roan, no more tears. Set to work his strength, So transformed him. Realizing a
form out of stone, His work so absorbed him. Could she hear him? Could she see him? All aglow was his room, Dazed in this light. He would touch her, He would hold her. Laughing as they danced, Highest colors touching others. Did her eyes at the
turn of the
century, Tell me plainly. How we'll meet, how we'll love, Oh, let life so transform me. Like leaves we touch, we dance. We once knew the
story. As autumn called and we both, Remembered all those many years ago. I'm sure we know. Was the
sign in the
day with a
touch, As I
kiss your fingers. We walk hands in the
sun, Memories when we're young, Love lingers so. Was it sun through the
haze, That made all your looks, As warm as moonlight? As a
pearl deep your eyes, Tears have flown away, All the
same light. Did her eyes at the
turn of the
century, Tell me plainly. When we meet, how we'll look, As we smile time will leave me clearly. Like leaves we touch, we see, We will know the
story. As autumn calls we'll both remember, All those many years ago.
