Walking Backwards

The face of time, my stitch in nine
 A cauldron of dreams
 The clouds that clear, a face that's near to mine
 With a halo's rim and a glass of gin
 Three buttons and a thread
 I'll reverse the trend and mend a rent in time
 For I'm not the kind
 Who lives forwards in time
 It isn't my sea or sky
 That shines, that shines
 In the depths, I find the space of mind
 A seer's paradise
 With shapes that shift, a parting mist of time
 And it's turning in this way I spin
 With buttons and thread
 To reverse the trend, mend a rent in time
 'Cause it's all that I can do
 Is walking backwards with you
 A different time clocked within
 And down, down
 And I'm not the kind
 Who lives forwards in time
 It isn't my sea or sky
 That shines, shines
 'Cause it's all that I can do
 Is walking backwards with you
 A different time clocked within
 And down, down
 Down, down, down, down
