lyrics

it was the start of something beautiful / i heard her heart and tripped, well… i fell right down / she told me all about her family / i saw the years fall in flakes of snow upon her ears // we die in an instant / but ripples wander as we ponder the meaning // branches wove into a bed direct above my head / as i learned what the river meant to have said / she told me, dex don’t you dare to fear your fate / ‘cause fate’s a lie and you’re a guy with flocks full of doors // we die in an instant / but ripples wander as we ponder the meaning
