Yes - Turn Of The Century Lyrics
Realising a form out of stone.Set hands moving.Roan shaped his heartThru his working hands.Work to mold his passion into clay, like the sun.In his room, his ladyShe would dance and sing so completely.So be still he now criesI have time, oh let clay transform thee so.In the deep cold of nightWinter calls, he cries dont deny me!For his lady, deep her illness.Time has caught herAnd will for all reasons take her.In the still light of dawn, she dies.Helpless hands soul revealing.Like leaves we touch we learn.We once knew the story.As winter calls he will starve.All but to see the stone be lifeNow roan, no more tears.Set to work his strength.So transformed himRealising a form out of stone. his workSo absorbed him.Could she hear him?Could she see him?All aglow was his room dazed in this light.He would touch herHe would hold her.Laughing as they danced.Highest colors touching others.Did her eyes at the turn of the centuryTell me plainlyWhen we meet, how well love, oh let life so transform me.Like leaves we touched we danced.We once knew the story.As autumn called and we bothRemembered all those many years ago.Im sure we know.Was the sign with a touchAs I kiss your fingers.We walk hands in the sun.Memories when were young.Love lingers so.Was it sun through the hazeThat made all your looksAs warm as moonlight?As a pearl deep in your eyes,Tears have flown away,All the same light.Did her eyes at the turn of the centuryTell me plainlyWhen we meet how well lookAs we smile time will leave me clearly.Like leaves we touch, we see.We will know the story.As autumn calls well both rememberAll those many years ago.
