He's sending stones skimming and flying

Circles spinning out his time


Though the earth is dying his head is in the stars


Chances are this spark's a lifetime




Out of touch he'll live in wonder


Won't lose sleep he'll just pretend

In his world he won't go under


Turns without him until the end




Rivers run dry but there's no line on his brow


Says he doesn't care who's saved


It's just the dice you roll, the here and now

And he's not guilty or afraid





One day he'll slip away

Cool water flowing all around


In the river and on the ground


Leave a pocketful of stones and not believe in other lives




Until then he'll live in wonder


He won't fight or comprehend

In his world he won't go under


Turns without him until the end
