about

The horrible price of the gift of prophecy – to see and not be able to alter the future sucks

lyrics

I’ve come upon you 1,000 ways
Your milky ball and chain of pain
Somewhere in these 10,000 days
We’ll find our picnic in the rain

I have known you inside my mind
You about rocked my crystal ball apart
I have been seeing just what we’ll find
And I have unlocked your lonely heart

The one day so soon goodbye ruse
Is an idea we bandy about
A lever to pull and pry we use
To light emotions we can’t live without

What would we find and feel dear
In this desperate rush to each other
If ‘twas to be our last time here?
We both know there won’t be another

Come now my crystal ball and chain
Come quiver and tear my mind apart
Visions of your skin alive in the rain
You shiver and swear I have your heart

Lover lay down without a word
My crystal ball and chain never lies
We have said it all and we have heard
I am sure now our love never dies

The one day so soon goodbye ruse
Is an idea we bandy about
A lever to pull and pry we use
To light emotions we can’t live without

What would we find and feel dear
In this desperate rush to each other
If ‘twas to be our last time here?
We both know there won’t be another

The only words I’ll believe from you
Are when you say yes you’ll see it through
I guess that I have my pride
When you say no I believe you lied
