Verse 1

 The brilliance of my fleeting mind

 chimes like voices in foreign caves

 it chimes in time - takes me where I'm going

 Alone my fleeting mind is knowing

 believe it when I pin it down

 And that's not hard to forget

 With my hands upon my knees

 You will steal from my fleeting mind

Verse 2

 Remember all our words

 they are just smoke rings in the rain :

 that's just a poem in brilliant places

 but poets, they are too grim

they steal like party thieves

from crowded rooms

 to rhyme their homes with better places

 The brilliance of their minds

 will seek with never knowing

 alone my fleeting mind is knowing

 believe it when I pin it down

 And that's not hard to forget

 with my thought like sifting leaves

 I believe in my fleeting mind.

Solo

 The brilliance of their minds

 will seek with never knowing

 alone my fleeting mind is knowing

 believe it when I pin it down
