Story And Pictures Lyrics
Shook out my salvation
In all four corners of my room
Lowly is the dust
Trustworthy the broom
White lady
Growlin' on a chain
Peacock caw the sound of my lover's name
The tone was pure and played on gut
From your birdhouse aflame
Your fire burns for me
Red as grace
The blush came easily to your face
Your fire burns for me
Red as grace and
She says that none would have her
As a boy I too drew near
To the love of dust
Tough skin, blue light cowboy
Idle hands they rust
Your fire burns for me
Red as grace
The blush came easily to your face
Your fire burns for me
Red as grace and
She says that none would have her
Let us allow the character to build
Wise as serpents and harmless as doves
Let's allow the emptiness to fill
Rich mercy and brotherly love
Your fire burns for me
Red as grace
The blush came easily to your face
Your fire burns for me
Red as grace and
She says that none would have her
In all four corners of my room
Lowly is the dust
Trustworthy the broom
Growlin' on a chain
Peacock caw the sound of my lover's name
The tone was pure and played on gut
From your birdhouse aflame
Red as grace
The blush came easily to your face
Red as grace and
She says that none would have her
To the love of dust
Tough skin, blue light cowboy
Idle hands they rust
Red as grace
The blush came easily to your face
Red as grace and
She says that none would have her
Wise as serpents and harmless as doves
Let's allow the emptiness to fill
Rich mercy and brotherly love
Red as grace
The blush came easily to your face
Red as grace and
She says that none would have her

In the original version on the self-titled album there is also another verse in there before the second chorus, after "idle hands they rust":
i could hear the daylight coming i could hear the darkness go out of sight and out of mind if only it was so
Also in the last verse it is "rich in mercy and brotherly love" in this original version as well.
Feels like he's talking to the Virgin Mary. Like most Woven Hands songs, it's about faith.
It's true that most woven hand songs have strong christian influences, but this one is not so much to do with the virgin mary as with his wife( He often remarks how the sound peacocks make is the name of his wife's name "Leah" ).
