Lessons to be learned hover over me
And I've got somewhere to go, a way
Shivering peasant and a frozen lake
Cracks in the picture of hidden landscapes
Somewhere inside of your eyes
A child got old
And somehow in the sky the light
Of a star went cold
In the summer the memories fade
The constants change
And symmetries break
Most distant stars cast a shimmering light on your thighs
And I hear the cadence of a muffled drum, resistant tribes
You got your head in the distance
And your cigarette on fire
If I had only known what was going on
Behind your eyes
Sometimes sleazy, always easy
This path leads right home
It's safe to say:"There is no reason"
With you we have grown
In the summer the memories fade
The constants change
And symmetries break
Sometimes a cry for help
Ceases before it gets heard
Somewhere inside of your eyes
A child got old
And somehow in the sky the light
Of a star went cold
