THE INVENTOR
(Hmmm, hmmm)
He taps at a thought now
A moment that he caught from a mind of endless dreaming
She loosens the knot of
a theory once exhausted by the thinkers and believers ever fleeting
And I’m thinking it’s alright
To love the ones who leave it all behind
Illuminating notions of the one true idea
The inventor catches shadows
Turns the wheel, turns the key
To my heart
His brothers and his sisters,
Made him tell the stories of a future without pain or fear or worry
Her mother was a painter, her father was a gardener
And the world became her canvas for or the blooming of her high fluorescent ideals, oh how everyone should know
And I’m thinking it’s alright
That from the darkness always comes the light
Illuminating notions of the one true idea
The inventor catches shadows
Turns the wheel, turns the key
To my heart
That’s how it all goes, we follow those who broke the mold
and have grown into a love with many faces
One is for me, the rest to help us all believe
In the makers of tomorrow and the breakers of the past to start anew
I’ve been waiting for you
I’ve been waiting for you
(hmm-ahh-hmm…)
And I’m thinking it’s alright
That from the darkness always comes the light
Illuminating notions of the one true idea
The inventor catches shadows
Turns the wheel, turns the key
To my heart
(Hmmm, hmmm)
