come find your Lover in the neighboring sea it's a question of devotion that's in front of me come find the Other in the neighboring sea chosen from the chosen, now no one can see so sing your song tonight we'll be dragged by the moon an aimless speck of driftwood that's tossed about the ancient sea come find your Lover in the neighboring sea beyond the blessed river to eternity come find the Other in the neighboring sea broken for the broken, pouring through these wretched valleys so sing your song (sky-colored country stretching out beyond the lines of what's contained within these wretched bones i'm tossed against the rocks below) small as you are your fragrance fills the world

Greenleaf 03:32
feed your ground that you can't help but plant as the seeds fall from your mouth sing that sound that you make when you toss and you turn as you're waking up breathe it out so that bird can descend with the icicle in its mouth oh that bird will descend with the icicle in its mouth and what you call 'home' is not what what you once thought and what you call 'love' is more than reaction and what you call 'fear' is just a paper wall leave it now all the words that we wrote when we were young cannot be found hold it out so that bird can descend with the icicle in its mouth oh, the peacock explained in a moment that all is now the last enduring chill it was like a warm ripple across a deeper sea of cold it was the Holy Ghost

Arboretum 01:41
my body told me to breathe my body told me to be afraid my body would not lay itself down to sleep my body told me to love my body told me don't be afraid my body's broken
4.
along the road i saw a stone and i asked that stone, 'are you my teacher now?' it didn't move or roll so i tried to make my way but i couldn't so i laid my body on the ground and when it finally spoke it said, 'come on, come on, come on, walk into your darkness, my friend!' further down the road i saw a man and i asked that man, 'are you my brother now?' he never spoke a word he just held out a hand and i knew that i had done unto the least of these when the Spirit spoke it said, 'come on, come on, come on, walk into your darkness my friend!'
5.
around the bend descending down the road the blessed woman stood on the edge of a grove with ears to hear the clearest songs the trees had sung and they'll sing without end we will be made to sing with them
6.
i'm gonna move out of this house into the House of Love this house can stand no more!
7.
we sing of trees so great and tall the songs that we sing, they are brief but they are long enough for us who are so small our sudden blissful, lisping songs they turn to living things consecrating us who are so small three birds sing out their songs now
