Frittering

I've seen you eat away Slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine* I've seen you chisel away Slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine And you wonder why I leave so soon How I get so high sink to the bottom of your room I've seen you fritter away Slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine I've seen you whittle away Slow as a glacier makes its way down to the spine And you wonder why I leave so soon How I get so high sink to the bottom of your room I wonder why I stay Slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine I've seen you eat away Slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine I wonder what to do Slow as a glacier takes to move on through the world And you wonder why I leave so soon How I get so high sink to the bottom of your room And you wonder why I leave so soon How I get so high sink to the bottom of your room I've seen you chisel away Hammer in place always in time I've seen you chisel away Slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine And you wonder why I leave so soon How I get so high sink to the bottom of your room
