He's sending stones skimming and flying   Circles spinning out his time   Though the earth is dying his head is in the stars   Chances are this spark's a lifetime      Out of touch he'll live in wonder   Won't lose sleep he'll just pretend   In his world he won't go under   Turns without him until the end      Rivers run dry but there's no line on his brow   Says he doesn't care who's saved   It's just the dice you roll, the here and now   And he's not guilty or afraid      One day he'll slip away   Cool water flowing all around   In the river and on the ground   Leave a pocketful of stones and not believe in other lives      Until then he'll live in wonder   He won't fight or comprehend   In his world he won't go under   Turns without him until the end
