lyrics

a jewel trembles on the lip - refracting twelve thousand days - time will grind the light to dust - that the west wind blows away - to cut, incise on graven stone - reflect the eye above - believe in this great divide - it burdens us with love - stumble then run & then walk & then crawl - a life made up of steps - & each one a start of a journey, the journey - & each one as good as the next - the words have been cast & the ink is now dry - on the story that no-one can tell - we must follow, must we follow you down all the days - as the water drains out of the well - a jewel trembles on the lips, refracting 12'000 days -
time will grind the light to dust that the west wind blows away .
