The Half-Remarkable Question Lyrics
Who moved the black castle
Who moved the white queen
When Gimil and Daleth
Were standing between
Out of the evening
Growing a veil
Pining for the pinewoods
That ached for the sail
There's something forgotten
I want you to know
The freckles of rain
They're telling me so...
Oh, it's the old, forgotten question
What is it that we are part of
And what is it that we are?
And an elephant madness
Has covered the sun
The judge and the juries
They play for the fun
They've torn up the roses
And washed all the soap
And the martyr who marries them
Dares not elope
Oh, it's the never-realized question
What is it that we are part of
And what is it that we are?
Oh long, oh long
There at my eyes
Breathed the gates
Enormous fire
And the body
Hold it round me
And the person
In me grew
The flower and its petals
The root and its grasp
The earth and its bigness
The breath and its gasp
The mind and its motion
The foot and its move
The life and its pattern
The heart and its love
Oh, it's the half-remarkable question
What is it that we are part of
And what is it that we are?
Who moved the white queen
When Gimil and Daleth
Were standing between
Growing a veil
Pining for the pinewoods
That ached for the sail
I want you to know
The freckles of rain
They're telling me so...
What is it that we are part of
And what is it that we are?
Has covered the sun
The judge and the juries
They play for the fun
And washed all the soap
And the martyr who marries them
Dares not elope
What is it that we are part of
And what is it that we are?
There at my eyes
Breathed the gates
Enormous fire
Hold it round me
And the person
In me grew
The root and its grasp
The earth and its bigness
The breath and its gasp
The foot and its move
The life and its pattern
The heart and its love
What is it that we are part of
And what is it that we are?
