Seven Sages

Ok look, there's no easy way to say this
but the space you sense between us
is not vacant, we are the time and space we've been apart

I'd like to think it's simple
and it is but it defeats me
when I try to listen for that minor voice

So I would sit for hours listening
finding patterns in the leaves
and never get the message, I should've waited years

The Seven Sages remember
all the ancient memories
the sacred knowledge that disturbs the sea serene

Oh I long to be in another's arms
with the one that cares for me
We will carve a space in stone
and make our home among the leaves

Listen here, can you reach out for a star?
Claim it in your own name and
Forget everything else?
Find you are more than you ever thought?

Or you can sink into the heather
settle in a static place
far from the flow
pass on and never know that you were

Well I hope you take my suggestion
try to cherish the moment
You could be cosmic
You could be forever long before you're gone

The Seven Sages remember
all the ancient memories
the sacred knowledge that disturbs the sea serene

Oh I long to be in another's arms
with the one that cares for me
We will carve a space in stone
and make our home among the leaves
and we will riot in the streets
realize past memories
uncover balance in the madness
chaos in the sadness and the joy
oh I feel it all
Life surrounding me
ever bounding off the ceiling, every wall
