Arduinna And the Science Boy - Old Jerusalem

Lyricist：Old Jerusalem

Composer：Old Jerusalem

Her hair soft hanging

Head down in a tired bliss

We'd walked a long way and

I had a sense she'd planned all this

Though her hands carressed now mine in warm intimacy

It was strange to feel

A smile so new so close to me

The place is known

All faces are familiar

Her effort's clear

The timing's right

I'm here and so is her

Still a thin thought bubbled

'Neath the warmth of this fresh noose

It's a mere 3 days since

We've been formally introduced

God a kid

But I was even then

The template of the man I'd be

A growing seed

Of uneasy awe

Towards the things

I saw as me

He built their house

They're married now they attend mass

He's a science boy

He used to burn things with his magnifying glass

I see him still

I know he knows

It's in his eyes

We never talk now

We simply get on with our lives

We was mentioned then

A zealous friend

In your abetting words

We rightly sad our innocence but it just felt worse

Your love grew deep for me the shallower mine for you

And to this day I don't know

Quite what I was supposed to do

God a kid

I am even now

Never grew somehow to be

The blossomed seed

Of calm and wise repose

Daily craved by those who've come to love me
