Lyrics

[Verse 1]

In an Escher town

In the Palace Gallen, hidden low

And the peaks stay Saint

And the streets wind up and down below

To the balcony

Where the hands embrace amidst the rows

And the flickering screen

And the smell of almonds in the grove

[Refrain]

Don't leave

Don't leave

To come so close to offer this

Don't leave, won't leave

[Chorus]

And the screen says, "Stay," every time

The image it plays in my mind

And we say Grace

Every time we're in this place

Is it mine in the mirror?

Is it mine or the mirror that we make?

[Verse 2]

Where we haven't run

Deep into the rows

Where the olives grow

Lost in the unknown

Until lost is all we know

And the pollen silt

Till we're tracing in the snow

[Chorus]

And down into the screen

Says "Stay," every time

The image it's burned in my mind

And we say Grace

Every time we're face-to-face

Is it mine in the mirror?

Is it mine or the mirror that we make?

[Outro]

Take all the time it takes

To make all the time it takes

Take all the time it takes

To make all the time it takes

Take all the time it takes

To make all the time it takes

Take all the time it takes

To make all the time it takes

Take all the time it takes

All the time

To make all the time it takes

All the time

Take all the time it takes

All the time

To make all the time it takes

Don't leave

Take all the time it takes

All the time

To make all the time it takes

All the time

Take all the time it takes

All the time

To make all the time it takes

Don't leave

Take all the time

All the time
