Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They are sea-eyed
And their calm is the deep calm of deep time
The cold calm of cold time
And their closeness is old as ocean
And their motion as ancient as wave
[Chorus]
Time to them is not deep, not deep at all
For time is only ever overlapping
Tumbling versions of the now
[Chorus]
They
They
They
[Verse 2]
They can recite the colour phases of ice
As it ages and deepens
From white flake to black star
Though not in words we would understand
The grammar-gather over millennia
[Chorus]
Time to them is not deep, not deep at all
For time is only ever overlapping
Tumbling versions of the now
[Chorus]
They
They
They
[Verse 3]
Have the patience of granite and the speed of starlight
Held in the hand for a minute
And for longer in the heart
All that the mind's gravity can hold in shape
Held in the hand for a minute
And for longer in the heart
[Chorus]
Time to them is not deep, not deep at all
Time to them is not deep, not deep at all
[Chorus]
They
They
They
