once in your life lyrics

To come apart in mountain tops
is to come apart in rain
Every note creates a picture of
a road worn over again
You speak only in memories
but what memories dictate
is if you don't know what you want
then what you want won't wait
And he sparks a ten center
as an epilogue waits
it's a centre of attention
and it's a road we won't leave behind

So far away
and I'm free from disguise
but I can see the devil hiding
in the circles around your eyes
What do I signify when
lifetime's away
I can see that look in northern faces
and looks are made from far off places

And maybe the life waits over the hill
over the hill while I wait
