Magnum Opus Lyrics

Camelias floating

In Waterford crystal

I look out your window

The writing spider sits

Thinking of her children

And what she would leave them

One final word written in silk

Magnum Opus

I'll fold up your tablecloth

Embroidered in paper whites

The clock strikes in bird chimes

The hummingbird sips

Time overlaps like

Waves in Daytona

Your under the umbrella

The kitchen sink drips

Magnum Opus

Did you think about

What you would leave me

Or did you know

That all I needed was your time

I sifted the flour

Shook seeds from the poppies

Collecting the moments

In every jar I could find

Magnum Opus

Magnum Opus

I weave a thread through it all

One silver strand from the lining of a storm cloud

I weave a thread through it all

One silver strand from the lining of a storm cloud

Around my children's eyes

Following the trail back up to the stars
