time, as a symptom

Lyrics

time passed hard, and the task was the hardest thing she'd ever do. but she forgot, the moment she saw you. so it would seem to be true: when cruel birth debases, we forget. when cruel death debases, we believe it erases all the rest, that precedes. but stand brave, life-liver, bleeding out your days, in the river of time. stand brave: time moves both ways, in the nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating, joy of life;, the nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating, joy of life. the moment of your greatest joy sustains: not axe nor hammer, tumor, tremor, can take it away, and it remains. it remains. and it pains me to say, i was wrong. love is not a symptom of time. time is just a symptom of love, (and the nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating, joy of life;, the nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating, joy of life). hardly seen, hardly felt-, deep down where your fight is waiting, down 'till the light in your eyes is fading: joy of life. where i know that you can yield, when it comes down to it;, bow like the field when the wind combs through it: joy of life. and every little gust that chances through, will dance in the dust of me and you, with joy-of-life. and in our perfect secret-keeping: one ear of corn, in silent, reaping, joy of life. joy! again, around-a pause, a sound-a song: a way a lone a last a loved a long. a cave, a grave, a day: arise, ascend. a shore, a tide, unmoored-a sight, abroad: a dawn, unmarked, undone, undarked. no time. no flock. no chime, no clock. no end. white star, white ship-nightjar, transmit: transcend!, white star, white ship-nightjar, transmit: transcend!, white star, white ship-nightjar, transmit: transcend!, white star, white ship-nightjar, transmit: trans
