These flowers grow in the shade of tall trees
They only bloom when they think no one sees
This is not the end

Mountains behind mountains behind mountains
Have seen every war
Who knows what they were fighting for?

This landscape continues outside of its frame
This is not the end
The alphabet is larger than we'd like to pretend
This is not the end

One letter so great it could burst the entire universe
There ain’t no time, no night and no noon
Swiss luxury watches on the moon

On quiet nights, I imagine I hear the Milky Way sparkle in my ear
A shadowy sea, the galaxies twirl
Oblivious to the news of the world

A lifetime for the moment we touch
"You'll wait a long time for anything much"
These flowers only bloom when you've walked out of the room
