From the recording Rock. Paper, Tree
Lyrics
“312”
Instrumental Verse then
I sit with the papers here now before me
Trying to make sense out of what I have found
Reading the papers, trying now to see
Visons and questions swirl all around me
3 1 2
3 1 2
What is the meaning so far from clear?
What is this message that I have found?
3 1 2
Who are you?
Some of the spelling seems very strange
Some of the words look out of place
Like the place of some letters needs to change
But somehow I know how to replace
3 1 2
3 1 2
These words are making more sense to me
As I write them from the old hand to mine
3 1 2
Who are you?
I read the words now as I feel them all
They sound so clear and kind to me
A story of a man whose voice seems to call
Echoes over time ringing in me
3 1 2
3 1 2
Somehow I feel that I know you
How can that be? What did I find?
3 1 2
Who are you?
My mind now slows as I read this all
Words become visions, now I can see
That old stone cottage down from the rock wall
A fire, two candles and a cup of tea
3 1 2
3 1 2
I don’t know why I was meant to find this
But these words hold a prophesy
3 1 2
3 1 2
Who are you?
A small flat rock with the papers did stay
In case the paper broke down over time
Small letters chipped into stone to say
The meaning lies inside of this rhyme
3 1 2
Who are you?
What does this mean? I know it’s a key
What are you trying to say to me
3 1 2
3 1 2
As I type up these words my mind starts to wander
Reflecting on what I have seen and found
There is much here to ponder
Out of these words from a box on the ground
3 1 2
3 1 2
The dream was a vision that brought me to this place
But the words on the stone don’t fit in at all
3 1 2
Who are you ?
I pick up the rock it seems warm to me
Turning it over I am shocked to find
More words carved on the back that I see
Revealing a prophesy to my old mind
3 1 2
I am you
Only two words are changed this time
But now the intention is plain to see
3 1 2
I am you
