lyrics

The leaves must know and the water sees

A speckle light dance across her porcelain cheek

Shouldn’t be,

Shouldn’t be reserved for me

Just look at those eyes of hers

As she cocks her head to watch the birds

The word: nobility

Isn’t she?

Isn’t she true to me?

Saved a green rock from the river

Do what I can to remember a day like this

Tie a scrap of moss around our wrists

Try as we must to touch what surrounds us

All of us thinking what we can’t photograph

We can sing

And we witness

We witness a splendid thing

To be happily known

Happily if only known by you

Don’t turn away, don’t turn away

As I bow to you

Look at my face

I bow to you

And you can have heaven on earth

You can have heaven on earth

Did it feel like for the first time being seen?

It was more like being heard without speaking

Don’t turn away, don’t turn away

As I bow to you

Look at my face

I bow to you
