Pascal's Triangle

I never notice

When the sky retreats at night

I just know how it unfolds you

 

So I never speak

For I would undermine the light

No, I know better just to hold you

 

We sat between the earth and sun

Not belonging to either one

We’re just looking for the water’s source

And our patient, she has run her course

 

But in the morning you were took from me

Took every ounce I had just to breathe

I sat for centuries down that lonesome hall

My hands raised at the western wall

 

The spirit picked me up and took me in

How your perfect teeth were chattering

And now it’s time for us to find out

What this whole damn thing’s about

 

I’ve heard it said if you can keep the sight

Of one thing of beauty inside your mind

No hellish hand will ever touch your heart

In our arms, babe, we both have ours

 

I never notice

When the sky retreats at night

I just know how it unfolds you

 

So I never speak

For I would undermine the light

No, I know better just to hold you
