lyrics

Shut up in my room I took down from the shelf my best wine

Went stumbling backwards trip fell clipped the table behind.

With a bump to to the head I went out for a while in the night

Deep in a dream i was headed fast towards a
blue light

The final sum id begun working on to overcome the problem of time

two parts of the equation lay to each side of the answer obscured by its shine

Stepping up closer I feel my feet sink down before I can reach the answer in time

Scrambling up from the muck
I see the parts fall away down a well

The closer I get I can make out the shape of a symbol in blue suspended in air

Heart beating faster I reach out to grasp it and take it before it’s pulled into hell

Bring it back home safe from the dream to complete the ARC lest I should wake from this spell

Annie’s suspended somewhere in time
But I feel she is close and she’s ringing her bell

Clasping the sign all at once I can see the shape how elegant it was in the end

Unaware how my body was stretching and bending down into darkness pulled by the well

Down into Darkways and downways I went holding the answer in my arms I fell
