[00:02.12]Into this strange elastic world
[00:06.56]Pontus kindly gave up a pearl
[00:11.31]Of his eternal stone and mud
[00:15.91]And ain't she lovely bone and blood
[00:20.78]Born of the sea
[00:25.22]
[00:25.67]A thousand miles away from me
[00:30.17]A court of angels
[00:32.76]Wards of the sun
[00:34.92]A future forming
[00:37.12]A curse undone
[00:39.52]
[00:44.27]Under our softly burning lamps she takes her time
[00:53.43]Telling stories of our possible lives
[00:59.78]And love is the ink in the well when her body writes
[01:06.33]
[01:10.75]I've been selfish and full of pride
[01:15.17]And she knows deep down there's a little child
[01:19.56]But I've got a good side to me as well
[01:24.45]And it's that she loves in spite of everything else
[01:31.06]
[01:43.66]A song in the tree has distracted her mind
[01:48.93]Some other curious form of life
[01:53.17]Has made its presence to her known
[01:57.69]And she coos so gently, soft and low
[02:02.69]He shining face in a million reflections
[02:08.03]On tiny raindrops that fall in a veil
[02:12.61]Over our city like notes from above
[02:16.90]It overwhelms me I just ain't that tough
[02:21.75]
[02:26.48]It's not that the darkness can't touch our lives
[02:30.96]I know it will in time
[02:35.68]But she's no ordinary valentine
[02:41.93]And now when the sun goes down
[02:44.81]she sheds a darling light
[02:48.04]
[02:52.67]I've been selfish and full of pride
[02:57.27]And she knows deep down there's a little child
[03:02.27]But I've got a good side to me as well
[03:06.68]And it's that she loves in spite of everything else
[03:18.30]
[03:20.61]
