How beautiful the die is cast
To make things permanent we never last
But fade and age
What is it about a tattered page
That attracts the eye
And the body that is born to die
While we are warm
Know the heat that powers the storm
In summer days
So magnificent in so many ways
Like laughing with you
Breaking biscuits in tea because you wanted me to
And holding your hand
I’m never a day away from that land
And the bitterness bite
And the anger ignite
But nothing steals your candlelight
Away from me
The motion of sea
Is forever true
It brutal but it brings out the best of you
And the girl on the screen
Had a cracked glass inside of the dream
Oh, how it unfold
A story that you’d never told
To be something real
And I always swore I would never steal
But I did that day
Though I paid back what I took away
A hundredfold
Is my excuse that I was too bold
And bending white light
I always swore I would never fight
But I warred with the wind
People say I have sinned
But the chasm calls
To let me know all the free for all’s
Are just the Tao
Letting me know what it will allow
In these mists of mine
What it takes to walk the line
As steady as a drunk man outside a car
Please free me from the prison bar
