Lark Lyrics

The Golden Ratio, the shell, stairs ascending 'round themselves
The trees rustle as if to kneel and listen
To the heartbeat of a lark or a lark in my heartbeat
The oxygen in priestly green, the answers dressed in labyrinthine
The telescopes atop the mountains of ecstatic vision listening
The heartbeat of a lark or a lark in my heartbeat

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

I am assured, yes, I am assured, yes
I am assured that peace will come to me
A peace that can, yes, surpass the speed, yes
Of my understanding and my need

A meteoric warp and went counterbalancing the sparks ever ascending
And the Arrow of Time shoots forward, though it moves through repetition
The heartbeat of a lark or a lark in my heartbeat

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

What is it that drives the driven snow now?
Upon whose temples will I rest my weary hopes now?
The rain distills down steeples, fills the years of lonely church mice
With the heartbeat of a lark or a lark in my heartbeat

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

I am assured, yes, I am assured, yes
I am assured that peace will come to me
A peace that can, yes, surpass the speed, yes
Of my understanding and my need

Really nice tune. Anybody else think the chorus sounds a lot like Simon & Garfunkel? Good stuff.
