This is my song to Sunday mornings,
where Son and Heir find skin,
and as I contemplate the ceiling
and the mysteries therein.
Thereâs something vast in your eyes,
it keeps me small and listless,
hereâs to my darling fair,
hereâs to my darling.
Find myself so calm and yet
so unclearâ¦
I wring the tap dry of water â
my little hill-side source â
and then Iâll down a flooded river
in knotted loops and folds.
But then Iâll simply lie stranded,
like some bloated corpse,
until you rise me up,
till Iâm alive again.
Find myself so calm and yet
so unclearâ¦
I keep the mustard curtains
from when this house was young.
But to me they still shine golden,
from one look,
from one look from the sun.
Take my arms, I feel unrest
no more.
Carry me up and away,
our own sum,
our own sum,
our own sum
our ownsome.
