i ran across a bible verse today (not the obvious one) and immediately thought of this song. given the other seemingly biblical influences in this amazing song, it seems pretty likely to me that Mark had run across the same verse. Let me know what you think.
compare:
"I'm so sorry
my spirit's rarely in my body
it wanders through the dry country
looking for a good place to rest"
with
"When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none." (Matthew 12:43 KJV)

That's really interesting, thanks for posting this. It's such a lovely, simple, beautiful song. RIP Mark :(
