[length: 02:58]
[00:11.54]I see you in windows
[00:13.36]That open so wide
[00:15.39]There’s nothing beyond them
[00:16.88]And no one inside
[00:21.50]You kick off your sandals
[00:23.49]And shake out your hair
[00:25.66]The salt on your shoulders
[00:27.34]Like sparks in the air
[00:31.89]There’s silt on your ankles
[00:33.39]And sand on your feet
[00:35.73]The river too shallow
[00:37.41]The ocean too deep
[00:41.76]You smile at your suffering
[00:43.59]The sweetest reprieve
[00:45.77]Why did you leave us?
[00:47.69]Why did you leave?
[00:52.24]You kick off your sandals
[00:53.90]And shake out your hair
[00:55.81]It’s torn where you’re dancing
[00:57.89]It’s torn everywhere
[01:00.11]It’s torn on the right
[01:01.82]And it’s torn on the left
[01:04.10]It’s torn in the center
[01:05.83]Which few can accept
[01:16.35]It’s torn where there’s beauty
[01:18.00]It’s torn where there’s death
[01:20.12]It’s torn where there’s mercy
[01:22.12]But torn somewhat less
[01:26.65]It’s torn in the highest
[01:28.42]From kingdom to crown
[01:30.56]The messages fly
[01:32.40]But the network is down
[01:37.19]Bruised at the shoulder
[01:38.65]And cut at the wrist
[01:40.78]The sea rushes home
[01:42.49]To its thimble of mist
[01:47.15]The opposites falter
[01:48.74]The spirals reverse
[01:50.74]And Eve must re-enter
[01:52.74]The sleep of her birth
[01:57.34]And up through the system
[01:58.98]The worlds are withdrawn
[02:00.84]From every dominion
[02:02.81]The mind stood upon
[02:05.47]And now that you told her
[02:07.02]And now that it’s done
[02:09.22]The name has no number
[02:11.64]Not even the one
[02:21.36]Come gather the pieces
[02:23.07]All scattered in loss
[02:25.29]The lie in what’s holy
[02:27.49]The light in what’s not
[02:31.82]The story’s been written
[02:33.32]The letter’s been sealed
[02:35.68]You gave me a lily
[02:37.58]But now it’s a field
[02:41.90]You kick off your sandals
[02:43.61]And shake out your hair
[02:45.76]It’s torn where you’re dancing
[02:47.93]It’s torn everywhere.
