Wisdom

Parted on a promise to seek
The wisdom to be won from this world we've subdued
Not enough each other to keep
We who had once been one are now two

I climbed up to the top of the mountain and I waited
And waited and waited and waited
Till I weighted it down

Strange again to see you my friend
Many moons have lit my way since I saw the shadow in you
I have something on my mind
You've got something in your heart that I'm starting to want to unwind

I sank down to the bottom of the ocean and I waited
And waited and waited and waited
Till I waded on in

Shuttered your temple inside
Digging down into your breath you inhaled the emptiest blue
To the dark close your eyes
And wait for my light to come shining through

I wrote our names on the high cliff wall and waited
And I'm watchin' it watchin' it watchin' it
Washin' away

I've seen too many things in this world
Not to know that nothing I leave here
Is gonna stay
