Arduinna And the Science Boy - Old Jerusalem

[00:08.59]Arduinna And The Science Boy
[00:13.64]Singer: Old Jerusalem
[00:31.83]Her hair soft hanging, head down in a tired bliss
[00:40.98]We'd walked a long way and I had a sense she'd planned all this
[00:48.84]Though her hands caressed now mine in warm intimacy
[00:57.41]It was strange to feel a smile so new so close to me
[01:04.96]The place is known, all faces are familiar
[01:13.60]Her effort's clear, the timing's right: I'm here and so is her...
[01:21.32]Still a thin thought bubbled neath the warmth of this fresh noose:
[01:29.95]It's a mere 3 days since we've been formally introduced...
[01:37.23]God, a kid,
[01:41.90]But I was even then,
[01:45.58]The template of the man I'd be
[01:48.64]A growing seed
[01:53.85]Of uneasy awe
[01:57.75]Towards the things I saw as me
[02:38.89]He built their house, they're married now, they attend mass
[02:46.73]He's a science boy, he used to burn things with his magnifying glass
[02:55.15]I see him still, I know he knows, it's in his eyes
[03:03.13]We never talk now, we simply get on with our lives
[03:11.50]We was mentioned then, a\"zealous friend\",in your abetting words
[03:19.54]We rightly sad our innocence but it just felt worse
[03:27.32]Your love grew deep for me the shallower mine for you
[03:35.52]And to this day I don't know quite what I was supposed to do
[03:43.47]God, a kid
[03:47.94]I am even now
[03:51.71]Never grew somehow to be
[03:54.82]The blossomed seed
[04:00.13]Of calm and wise repose
[04:04.39]Daily craved by those who've come to love me
