1905

lyrics

You've got the face of a goddess falling from her cloud
Into the dust she created those eons and eons ago
A whirlwind of ideas on pages--all shredded,
Scattered to the wind
Like ashes afloat on the ocean
The urn now completely and utterly broken as you
Designs of diamonds and rubble
And all that lies there in between
And there's you: the most beautiful thing I've e'er seen
Together we sing,

"Glory, Hallelujah! Glory, Hallelujah!"
It was 1905, with you and I barely alive
But willing to try to survive

Remnants caked on the faces of children as war paint on wolves
As a beaded necklace on a tree branch
A shabby nest for doves and crows,
Vultures and snowbirds
That you now wear in your hair like a crown or a halo
Your feet in the soil
Your age is now perfectly spelled out in rings
Of these circular patterns, peculiar things
And then you

Dogs pissing on your roots
Causing you to grow
For maybe you can get back up to your cloud
If you're tall enough now
And there's you: the most beautiful tree I have found
I'll sing here from the ground:

"Glory, Hallelujah! Glory Hallelujah!"
It was 1915, with you and me causing a scene
Enveloped in green

It was 1905, with you and I barely alive
But willing to try to survive
