Frittering Lyrics

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

This is one of my all time favorites' - don't know what it means but who care's - it is very floaty..... and beautifull - I hear the MOON instead of room........ takes many repeated listens.... but then it gets you forever....... Like being stuck in a good dream for as long as you keep repeating it....escape.......

I hear "moon" sometimes too, and it makes sense that way still, so I dunno what it really is. And I'm not sure exactly what it means either, but I love it

Amazing song. I don't think words do it justice.
