The face of time my stitch in nine a cauldron of dreams The clouds that clear a face that's near to mine With a halo's rim and a glass of gin Three buttons and a thread I'll reverse the trend and mend a rent in time
For I'm not the kind who lives forwards in time It isn't my sea or sky that shines
In the depths I find the space of mind a seer's paradise With shapes that shift a parting mist of time It's turning in this I spin With buttons and thread To reverse the trend and mend a rent in time
It's all I can do do walking backwards with you A different time clocked within and down
