[Intro – Instrumental / Spoken whisper] (soft organ swell, distant Mellotron) …drifting… through the turning sound… [Verse 1] Silver waves in a painted sky Bending low as the years go by Every tone like a fading light Pulling shapes from the edge of night Footsteps lost in a shifting maze Floating through in a silent haze Nothing still, every line undone Circles drawn where we all begun [Pre-Chorus] Hold the moment, let it slide Feel the current turn inside [Chorus] We are caught in the spiral of the tides Drifting far where the deeper rhythm hides Every breath takes us further from the ground In the echo where no straight line is found [Verse 2] Broken mirrors in fields of sound Fragments falling but never bound Guitar cries like a distant call Through the rise and the endless fall Bassline moves like a hidden stream Carving paths through a waking dream Organ spins with a ghostly glide Turning slow like a shifting tide [Instrumental Break – Extended] (Hammond organ lead, Leslie rotation wide) (Guitar melodic bends answering phrases) (Mellotron choir swelling underneath) [Bridge – Odd Meter Feel] Count the steps but they slip away Every turn leads another way No straight path, only curves remain In the loss, there’s a deeper gain [Build-Up] Drums awaken, shifting time Bass climbs up through the climb Layers rising, folding space Sound dissolves without a trace [Final Chorus – Expansive] We are caught in the spiral of the tides Drifting far where the deeper rhythm hides Every breath takes us further from the ground In the echo where no straight line is found [Outro – Atmospheric Fade] (organ + Mellotron fading) Round and round… still it goes… through the sound…
