Think of me

Very scientifically

Share your thoughts with me

Send them over land and sea

They seep though walls

Echo down abandoned halls

They cling to skin

And penetrate the bones within



Let me see

Your joy and fear

Be you far away so near



How can it be

We never seem to see

What we have until it's gone

Why is it so

We never know

What we have until it's gone



The more I try

All the faster you slip by

These things are never free

But then again they shouldn't be

So vaporise

Slide to me like liquid ice

I long to be

The object of your scrutiny

I can see into your eyes

The deepest blue of winter skies



Why is it so

We never know

What we have until it's gone

Until we burn

We'll never learn

What we have until it's gone



I can see into your eyes

The deepest blue of winter skies



Why is it so

We never know

What we have until it's gone

Until we burn

We'll never learn

What we have until it's gone
