these are days to remember
seen with wide open eyes
gently floating in formaldehyde
quiet as in the winter
these are days of our lives
never did a time appear so bright
the aqueduct is the border
dividing the dark and light
built on barren land
the root of yours and mine
rainbows above the water
make way to the other side
the ground on which we stand
will flood when the time is right
right as rain in the morning
right as towers of song
right as everything we thought was wrong
sun comes without a warning
to warm and shine down upon
the wild at heart and the forever young
the aqueduct is the border
dividing the dark and light
built on barren land
the root of yours and mine
rainbows above the water
make way to the other side
the ground on which we stand
reveals what we cannot hide
and will flood when the time is right
seen with wide open eyes
gently floating in formaldehyde
quiet as in the winter
these are days of our lives
never did a time appear so bright
the aqueduct is the border
dividing the dark and light
built on barren land
the root of yours and mine
rainbows above the water
make way to the other side
the ground on which we stand
will flood when the time is right
right as rain in the morning
right as towers of song
right as everything we thought was wrong
sun comes without a warning
to warm and shine down upon
the wild at heart and the forever young
the aqueduct is the border
dividing the dark and light
built on barren land
the root of yours and mine
rainbows above the water
make way to the other side
the ground on which we stand
reveals what we cannot hide
and will flood when the time is right
