The Jewel of June

Mercy come upon us, mercy let us go Hold me up just longer, shine a light on hope Shine upon what's missing, shine upon the rest Calm the winds inside me, torrents in my chest It only takes a moment for a lifetime to go by It only takes a moment for the changing of the signs You will not remember, though you were the same The jewel of June, the Gemini, forever shares your name Forever in our minds, as if love would obey time As if wonder could be lost, as if truth could tell a lie It only takes moment for a lifetime to go by It only takes a moment for the changing of the signs Mercy you're upon us, mercy you've been slow Lest you think we're stronger, for what we've got to show Cast upon what shines now, a shadow laid to rest The voices of our fathers, whispers of our death It only takes moment for a lifetime to go by It only takes a moment for the changing of the signs
