Frittering

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
