Pulling it back again From earth, moon, to hand and pen We can keep all the wheels turning Safely remove the "when" Toil the land for years Witness repeating gears We'll cycle until we believe The earth will present a mirror But a mind so curious Must drift now and then It will peer for a moment Just around the bend All is approaching More quickly Than you can close the door Pulling it back again From millions to less than ten It's a map with no destination There's minutes left to defend Wounds that you seek to heal And subsequently you'll peel The flesh away from the body To curb the looming reveal But no length of exertion Forever holds the seal So let the mountains reach high Let the rivers run deep So that we'll never rest Not until we're asleep When the equation dissolves But until then we'll run O forgive me, I've glanced It is coming undone So let the mountains reach high Let the rivers run deep So that we'll never rest Not until we're asleep When the equation dissolves But until then we'll run O forgive me, I've glanced It is coming undone
