Paroles de Stone Veins

There's a photograph I found Buried deep between old pages Someone standing in the sunlight Before the weight of passing ages Eyes that didn't hesitate Hands that never learned to stay Looking at that distant version Feels like watching it decay Somewhere in the turning seasons Something slowly slipped away Stone veins running through me now Where the fire used to live Every year the current weakens Taking more than I can give Names and places blur together Stories drift without a sound Every road that once felt open Narrows slowly to the ground People say that time will shape you Carve the edges of your bones But they never mention how it Leaves you standing there alone I can trace the fading outline Of the person I once knew Stone veins running through me now Where the fire used to live Every year the current weakens Taking more than I can give If the change was slow and silent Maybe that's why I missed the day Stone veins running through me now Where the fire used to live Every year the current weakens Taking more than I can give And I barely feel it fade
