lyrics

Planet three, four, five
Seven is lovely, and nine; divine
When you added you could hold me
bind me
like a sheath
A letter's intent
Or a trinity
Pour out some water, cut it with time
Do you remember the number we gave like years
Wishing to keep without age
In a book with just enough pages

Twelve, fifteen, twenty's the day
When I took up with you
For far less than I manage
Far more than just one

What numbers bind our hearts
And what days we keep
Our souls walking the line
On smooth, soft earth

So long after nature's run her course
Moon rising
A quarter, a half
Just one
