This is a song about what it would be like to know everything about the future. It's about predicting the world around you like gears on a watch churning time into causality, but still letting it unfold with wonder as the intricate symphony that spins around us.
lyrics
if i were a seer of visions of futures
i'd still leave them up to fate
because i know tomorrow is fickle and hollow
and it always comes to late
so i'll leave roses at your feet
their fading colours will grow weak
and we've got so much more
of the winter left to go
the crowd has grown quiet their voices are dying
the winter cold has chased them home
but i keep their stories their pictures reminders
of a past that's never gone
so i'll leave roses at your feet
their fading colours will grow weak
and we've got so much more
of the winter left to go
