Intro

Verse

When it flows from the fingers

 And turns to stone

 It shatters with the touch

 Feel the air, breathe it in

 Turn the corner, take the bend

 Give or take the bend

 It's a spiraling cork-screw path towards you

 It's a sinking, twisted path from me to you

Chorus

For a second I saw you so clearly, clearly

For a moment I knew you so dearly, dearly

I looked into your eyes and into your mind

You were laughing like a statue come to life

Verse

The subtle piano raindrops

 The creaking of the buildings and their cellos

 The wind was our violin

 The sky was a symphonic mural of stars

Hiding behind perfectly placed clouds

 Because everything is the way it is

 And everything is perfect in their imperfections

 And everything is placed the best

 And it is now, and it is here

 And tomorrow is another now

 Waiting to happen

Chorus

The roar of an action silences all the words

The cry of an accomplishment

 Drowns the whimper of ten thousand words

And we live in our actions and our reactions

And we live in our actions and our reactions
