lyrics

My lady many times you lay down as a bridge between us
You say at first it felt so strange but now you've learned to let it flow
Ten thousand tongues of flame come dancing from your heart
In all directions
The very sky in hands in wonder so it too can know

As we together share this day of uncanny connections
Say that you'll be there for me when the floor at last gives way
When i let go i start to float and grow beyond my boundaries
Each sunrise so unique and yet they all come from a single day

There's a mountain and atop it is a crystal temple
There's a ladder that every soul must climb in time
Even if it takes ten thousand lifetimes just for your arrival
We are singular an can never leave a soul behind

And in the end of this eternity we all rise up together
To take our places in the line beyond the great expanse
Hand in hand as one we stand like paper dolls unbroken
Pure indefinable beautiful sorrowful we keep coming back
For the dance

My lady many times you've lay down as a bridge between us
You say at first it felt so strange but now you've learned to let it flow
Ten thousand tongues of flame come dancing from your heart
In all directions
Ten thousand tongues of flame ten thousand tongues of flame
Ten thousand tongues of flame come dancing from your heart
In all directions
