lyrics

Tell me that story again
where you forget the names of all of your friends
and wake up to a vision of total love

You see a mirror in your mind
walk right through it and look behind
and find another world much like our own

where time is like a sweet caress
laughter ripples through your chest
and everything is singing in the sun

Tell me that story again
I'm foggy on the details and I don't know the end
and lately it's been on my mind

I want to hear that story once more
about the secret key to the cosmic door
you told me I would find it if I knew it was there

You tumbled through the heavens
on a twisting beam of light
you were airborne and everywhere at once

the stars swirled around you
and sang through the night
until you and the morning lit up the sky

and the earth drank you in
like a drop of pure rain
on a warm day in spring towards the end of May

your cloud wandered off
into the distant haze
and never even told anyone your name

You could see your life then:
a slow motion spark
knowing nothing real in the dark

and all your bad decisions
like birds taking flight
paused to look and think and try to get it right

At first you didn't know where you were going
then you realized you were going nowhere
finally it hit you: you were already there

Meanwhile your friends sat around by the pool
the wind made the tassles bob and twirl
they all talked about a show on tv
and waited til you were feeling better
and at your last decision
your eyes opened wide
you told them you had healed the wounds of time

At first I don't know where I'm going
then I realized that I'm going nowhere
finally it hits me: I'm already there
