"Filigree" lyrics

"Filigree"

I fell into a cinema
Watching pictures in a dream
Shifting the fidget into still
Nine other people took their leave

No humping bones, all filigree
Grace and nature mimicry
All but took me to my knees...

You jump too soon
And miss all this
Now something beautiful happens
All there is, these beautiful minutes
We wait on, we wait on

It moved as slow as slow can be
Half eaten words of earth and sea
I didn't feel it touching me...

You jump too soon
And miss all this
Now something beautiful happens
All there is, these beautiful minutes
We wait on, we wait on

I fell into a cinema
I didn't know where else to be
Sitting out a trip or three
I thought I wanted frippery
That girl five seats down and me
Concave and blinking at the scene
Rolling credits on the screen...

You jump too soon
And miss all this
Now something beautiful happens
All there is, these beautiful minutes
We wait on, we wait on
