The Curious Kind Lyrics

Through the eye of a needle we will travel
On the back of a snowflake rest our minds as they unravel
Each elastic moment stretching out
Into another one
And onto the edge of blackest night
To where all light must bend
Each hidden trap-door there we'll find
We always were the curious kind

We split the difference and the ripples magnified
Learning, looking under stones
To find the worm disturbed - he turns and turns
We always were the curious kind

Through the eye of a needle we will follow
From a blur into focus as we penetrate tomorrow
Trespassing on future time to find
We're not the only ones
After all these promised miles to glimpse
The everlasting sight
The slow recurring point unwinds
We always were the curious kind

We were like children shining light
Into each other's eyes
Across the space that lies so tired between us now
But oh like grains of sand into a naked flame
We blew away - oh we blew away

We split the difference and the ripples magnified
Learning, looking under stones
To find the worm disturbed - he turns and turns
We always were the curious kind

We were like children shining light
Into each other's eyes
But oh like grains of sand into a naked flame
We blew away - oh we blew away

We split the difference and the ripples magnified
Learning, looking under stones
To find the worm disturbed - he turns and turns
We always were the curious kind
