I skimmed across black water   Without once submerging onto the banks of an urban morning   That hunger's the first light   Much much more than mountains ever do      And she like a ghost beside me, goes down with the ease of a dolphin   And emerges unlearned, unashamed, unharmed   For she is the perfect creature, natural in every feature   And I am the geek with the Alchemist's stone      For all of you who must discover   For all who seek to understand   For having left the path of others   You'll find a very special hand      And it is a holy thing and it is a precious time   And it is the only way   Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes   To ponder his death and his life eternally      For all of you who must discover   For all who seek to understand   For having left the path of others   You'll find a very special hand      And it is a holy thing and it is a precious time   And it is the only way   Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes   To ponder his death and his life eternally      One bright blue rose outlives all those   Two thousand years and still it goes   To ponder his death and his life eternally
