We once knew the story
He would touch her, he would hold her
Was the sign of the day with a touch
We walk hands in the sun
As a pearl deep your eyes
Tell me plainly
Set to work his strength
As warm as moonlight?
As we smile time will leave me clearly
Winter calls he cries don't deny me
Like leaves we touched we danced
As autumn calls we'll both remember
I'm sure we know
Memories when we're young
Oh let life so transform me
As I kiss your fingers
How we meet, how we'll love
Through his working hands
Work to mold his passion into clay, like the sun
Like leaves we touch, we see
Now roan, no more tears
All the same light
Could she hear him, could she see him?
Was it sun through the haze
As winter calls he will starve
For his lady, deep her illness
All those many years ago
That made all your looks
All but to see the stone be life
As autumn called and we both remembered
All aglow was his room dazed in this light
Laughing as they danced
I have time oh let clay transform thee so
We will know the story
Tell me plainly
In the still light of dawn, she dies
Love lingers so
Helpless hands soul revealing
And will for all reasons take her
When we meet how we'll look
In his room his lady
Roan shaped his heart
Tears have flown away
So be still he now cries
Like leaves we touch we learn
His work so absorbed him
Did her eyes at the turn of the century
Highest colors touching others
We once knew the story
So transformed him
Realizing a form out of stone
Time has caught her
In the deep cold of night
She would dance and sing so completely
Did her eyes at the turn of the century
