Realizing a form out of stone   Set hands moving   Roan shaped his heart   Through his working hands   Work to mold his passion into clay, like the sun      In his room his lady   She would dance and sing so completely   So be still he now cries   I have time oh let clay transform thee so      In the deep cold of night   Winter calls he cries don't deny me   For his lady, deep her illness   Time has caught her   And will for all reasons take her      In the still light of dawn, she dies   Helpless hands soul revealing   Like leaves we touch we learn   We once knew the story   As winter calls he will starve   All but to see the stone be life      Now roan, no more tears   Set to work his strength   So transformed him   Realizing a form out of stone   His work so absorbed him      Could she hear him, could she see him?   All aglow was his room dazed in this light   He would touch her, he would hold her   Laughing as they danced   Highest colors touching others      Did her eyes at the turn of the century   Tell me plainly   How we meet, how we'll love   Oh let life so transform me      Like leaves we touched we danced   We once knew the story   As autumn called and we both remembered   All those many years ago   I'm sure we know      Was the sign of the day with a touch   As I kiss your fingers   We walk hands in the sun   Memories when we're young   Love lingers so      Was it sun through the haze   That made all your looks   As warm as moonlight?   As a pearl deep your eyes   Tears have flown away   All the same light      Did her eyes at the turn of the century   Tell me plainly   When we meet how we'll look   As we smile time will leave me clearly      Like leaves we touch, we see   We will know the story   As autumn calls we'll both remember   All those many years ago
