lyrics

Providence has seen
fit to give me
ten more years
to live since I
first woke up into the splendor
of this gently glowing world

When lately I have been moved to tears
by a passing cloud
I close my eyes
and everything that's on the surface
of this world reminds me of her

On another planet I was fortunate enough to meet her
and when my earth friends ask me how we
made it through the centuries I tell them
like Liv Tyler we gave up
eternal life to be together

Give me time and give me
air to breathe I
need it now
Depending on
this linear corporeal existence is a
strange delight
and every day that
I am still alive I thank the
vortex that deposited me

In another timeline where I was fortunate enough to meet her
and when my friends from this dimension
ask me how we've stayed intact I tell them
like Liv Tyler we gave up
transcendent permanence to
spend a single human life
together
