Lark
Josh Ritter
Golden ratio, the shell, stares at sand around themselves
The trees rustle as if to kneel and listen
The heartbeat of a lark or a lark in my heartbeat
The oxygen and priestly green, Hanel's dressed in labyrinthine
The telescopes atop the mountains of ecstatic fission, listen
The heartbeat of a lark or a lark in my heartbeat, 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
They're in my need
A meteor wortquarp and when, can it balance in the sparks of her ascending
The aero-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 that drives the driven snow now
Upon his temples will I rest my weary hopes now
The rain distills then steeples fills the years of lonely church mice
With the heartbeat of a lark or a lark in my heartbeat, 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
They're in my need
