I've seen you eat away Slow as a glacier makes its way down to the rhine* I've seen you chisel away Slow as a glacier makes its way down to the rhine And you wonder why i leave so soon How i get so high sink to the bottom of your room I've seen you fritter away Slow as a glacier makes its way down to the rhine I've seen you whittle away Slow as a glacier makes its way down to the spine And you wonder why i leave so soon How i get so high sink to the bottom of your room I wonder why i stay Slow as a glacier makes its way down to the rhine I've seen you eat away Slow as a glacier makes its way down to the rhine I wonder what to do Slow as a glacier takes to move on through the world And you wonder why i leave so soon How i get so high sink to the bottom of your room And you wonder why i leave so soon How i get so high sink to the bottom of your room I've seen you chisel away Hammer in place always in time I've seen you chisel away Slow as a glacier makes its way down to the rhine And you wonder why i leave so soon How i get so high sink to the bottom of your room
