Said you were to live life like he was living
He said that until the day he died
Now I remember him by looking at Venus
That's the planet where you cast your line
Oh ain't it bright
Oh it burns
To feel the orrery turn
But may I never forget what I have learned
May I never forget what I have learned
You were talking in your sleep
Talking about how things used to be
And I ain't scared to visit my past
It's those shadows that are frightened back
So what now
Oh it burns
To feel the orrery turn
And the seed you sow
And the garden that grows
And the ribbons of smoke
Coming over the growing hope
How it burns
To feel the orrery turn
May you blossom like a season unheard
He said may you blossom like a season unheard
Venus is real brilliant tonight
Makes me want to set the garden a lite
