Lark

[Verse 1]

The golden ratio, the shell

The stairs ascending 'round themselves

The trees rustle as if to kneel and listen

The heartbeat of a lark

Or the lark in my heartbeat

The oxygen in priestly green

The answers dressed in labyrinthine

The telescopes atop the mountains of ecstatic vision

Listening to the heartbeat of a lark

Or the lark in my heartbeat

[Chorus]

Hey, hey, hey, hey

I am assured, yes, I am assured, yes

I am assured peace will come to me

A peace that can, yes, surpass the speed, yes

Of my understanding and my need

[Verse 2]

The meteoric warp and wend

In counterbalance to the sparks ever ascending

The arrow time shoots forward though it moves through repetition

The heartbeat of a lark

Or a lark in my heartbeat

Hey, hey, hey, hey

What is it drives the driven snow?

Upon whose temples will I rest my weary hopes now?

The rain distills down steeples fills the ears of lonely church mice

With the heartbeat of a lark

Or the lark in my heartbeat

[Chorus]
