The first breath is arresting We don't all come full circle at the turn of time This chalice has a poisoned rim We sink cognizant and comfortable Knowing that there is no win And the man who's a boy can protect the impregnable Still we all lose some days That's just the way It was as far as we had dreamed The garden grew deep the incense rising Lifted as heat to stars still dying Gone just like magic by the morning We couldn't pull back the glass So we stood watching Our eyes projecting the past Lenses of love of longing To be aware is to tread with care Resting in the pain you're living It was as far as we had dreamed The garden grew deep the incense rising Lifted as heat to stars still dying Gone just like magic by the morning It was as far as we had dreamed The garden grew deep the incense rising Lifted as heat to stars still dying Gone just like magic by the morning It was as far as we had dreamed The garden grew deep the incense rising Lifted as heat to stars still dying Gone just like magic by the morning How long do you stay to honour a dream To honour a dream How long do you stay to honour a dream To honour a dream
