lyrics

A LONG TIME FROM NOW
I. Building the Ship


(Instrumental)


II. Out to Sea

Listen my friend I have a story to tell
My Muses surround and they’ll serve me well
There once was a ship that set out to the sea
With precious cargo – my memories

And then that ship sailed, sailed on so fearlessly
From the past into eternity
You'll stand on her bow
A long time from now.

Through the waves I saw the future
Washed clean by time and fading away
My ship sailed on into the darkness
A passenger so led astray

When I was young happy and free
Elder Creek, it ran to the sea
I’ll get back somehow…
A long time from now.

III. The Mirror Man

You don’t know me – don’t know me yet
But when you fall, when you forget
I’ll pick you up – set you free
And you’ll forget Mnemosyne

You see your reflection, in the creek
And the memories of which you speak

When your muses have broken down
And your ship has run aground
The reflection that you see
In the mirror
You know it’s me.

IV. Two for Tea

Two for tea and tea for two
I think that I remember you
Two for tea – remember me?

V. Along the Lethe

(Instrumental)

VI. Arrival

Across the shore, beyond the horizon
I see a child - she's calling to me
Young at heart with eyes so knowing
I see in her my destiny

If memories were time, I’d have so few to spare
And those I have left, well they are yours to share
Remember this vow
A long time from now

“Come on Grandma, Let’s go home…”


VII. Euturpe


(Instrumental)
