Hand of Fate Falls

Am I? Yes, I am you answered, random numbers
Graph paper we spoke, as bedside stories were still being told
We didn’t even know, the draw hand just goes the way it goes
It curls, whirls and parallels, hand of fate falls

All I see is diamonds in the night
Draw a picture, lines to the stars then look into your eyes
My mind’s spinning on out to the mountains and fly across the sea
Flying like a bird going through the clouds and out into the dream

As the deep concentration needs to hit its exact moment
Before you or I decide on anything we do
The only drawing I know is how to draw you to me
Let me imagine, let me imagine

All I see is diamonds in the night
Draw a picture, lines to the stars then look into your eyes
My mind’s spinning on out to the mountains and fly across the sea
Flying like a bird going through the clouds and out into the dream

The numbers hum in reverse, a broken lullaby
Your silhouette dissolves in the corner of my eye
The hand that draws isn’t yours
It’s the wind tracing fractures in the sky

Graph paper burns where the zeros align
But the ash keeps the shape of a bird in flight
You said Am I? The echo replies
A chalk outline left where the stars died
