Bright Blue Rose

I skimmed across black water, without once submerging
 Onto the banks of an urban morning
 That hungers 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, unshamed, unharmed
 For she is the perfect creature, natural in every feature
 And I am the geek with the alchemists' stone
 Chorus
 For all of you who must discover,
 For all who seek to understand,
 For having left the path of others
 You 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
 Chorus
 For all of you who must discover
 For all who seek to understand,
 For having left the path of others
 You find a very special hand
 And it is a holy thing
 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
