|
Realising a form out of stone. |
|
Set hands moving. |
|
Roan shaped his heart |
|
thru his working hands. |
|
Work 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 |
|
realising 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 |
|
when we meet, how we'll love, oh let life so transform me. |
|
Like leaves we touched we danced. |
|
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 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 in 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. |
