Turn Of The Century Lyrics - Renaissance

Realising a form out of stone 

Set hands moving 

Roan shaped his heart 

Thru his working hands 

Work to mould his passion into clay 

Like the sun 

In his room, his lady 

She would dance and sing so completely 

So be still, he now cries 

I have time, oh let clay transform thee so, love 

In the deep cold of night 

Winter calls, he cries, don't deny me 

For his lady, deep her illness 

Time has caught her 

And will for all reasons take her 

In the still light of dawn, she dies 

Helpless hands soul revealing 

Like leaves we touch, we learn 

We once knew the story 

As winter calls he will starve 

All but to see the stone be life 

Now Roan no more tears 

Set to work his strength 

So transformed him 

Realising a form out of stone, his work 

So absorbed him 

Could she hear him 

Could she see him 

All aglow was his room bathed in this light 

He would touch her 

He would hold her 

Laughing as they danced 

Highest colours touching others 

Did her eyes at the turn of the century 

Tell me plainly 

How we meet, how we'll love 

Or let life, so transform me 

Like leaves we touched, we danced 

We once knew the story 

As autumn called and we both 

Remembered all those many years ago 

I'm sure we know 

Was the sign with a touch 

As I kiss your fingers 

We walk hands in the sun 

Memories when we're young 

Love lingers so 

Was it sun thru the haze 

That made all your looks 

Warm as moonlight 

As a pearl, deep your eyes 

Tears have flown away 

All the same light 

Did her eyes at the turn of the century 

Tell me plainly 

When we meet how we'll look 

As we smile time will leave me clearly 

Like leaves we touch, we search 

We will know the story 

As autumn calls we will both remember 

All those many years ago
