Carrie Newcomer - I Do Not Know Its Name şarkı sözleri

Sanatçı: Carrie Newcomer

albüm: Kindred Spirits: A Collection


He leaned in and whispered as he turned the page
And he said make yourself into a flame
A crazy old lion with his hair all backlit
Grinnin' like a little boy who has a secret
I do not know its name
Though it's ever intertwining
And I believe it must look like an old man shining
We were eating summer peaches by a roadside stand
Juice running down like laughter on our chin and on our hands
When we were done we looked around and smiled at each other
And I do not know its name
No matter how I try
But I believe it must taste like peaches eaten by the roadside
He drove a rental car shuttle to the airports on Sundays
We chatted that grey morning about the choir he sang with Wednesdays
He sang a haunting gospel hymn shameless and clear
With only me a wandering stranger sitting there to hear
And I do not know its name
Elusive and subtle
But I believe it must sound like that man singing in the shuttle
Standing in the river barefoot in the current
I hear the sound of a birdcall and I try to learn it
The water is a wonder it's cold and fast and deep
I saw a fish go swimming out too far for me to reach
And I do not know its name
Swimmer or watcher
But I believe that there is always something
Moving beneath the water
If holy is a sphere that cannot be rendered
There is no middle place because all of it is center
I do not know its name
I do not know its name
I do not know its name
