When It Flows Lyrics - Bodies & Minds - Great Lake Swimmers

When it flows from the fingers 

And turns to stone 

It shatters with the touch 

Feel the air, breathe it in 

Turn the corner, take the bend 

Give or take the bend 

It's a spiralling cork-screw path towards you 

It's a sinking, twisted path from me to you 

For a second I saw you so clearly (clearly) 

For a moment I knew you so dearly (dearly) 

I looked into your eyes and into your mind 

You were laughing like a statue come to life 

The subtle piano raindrops 

The creaking of the buildings and their cellos 

The wind was our violin 

The sky was a symphonic mural of stars 

Hiding behind perfectly placed clouds 

Because everything is the way it is 

And everything is perfect in their imperfections 

And everything is placed the best 

And it is now, and it is here 

And tomorrow is another now 

Waiting to happen 

The roar of an action silences all the words 

The cry of an accomplishment 

Drowns the whimper of ten thousand words 

And we live in our actions and our reactions 

And we live in our actions and our reactions
