Marrow

Текст песни Jealous Of The Birds - Marrow

Some people say that it's all just conjecture
Like trying to synthesize undergrad lectures
With the wrought iron balconies
In Greenwich this spring
There's a schism, a chasm of language
Between the taste and the thought of the sandwich
Between the thing and the myth I make
To feign meaningfulness

Mountains and mountain walks
I am of the above
Don't cast aside, dare to cleave
To the marrow of belief

How absurd just to live in this body
In this town and not South Nagasaki
Or anywhere else within me
Unknown to myself
In Tibet, I'd be bowing to Buddha
At Cachemac Bay, I'd see pods of belugas
With light pouring into my eyes
And no image the same

Mountains and mountain walks
I am of the above
Don't cast aside, dare to cleave
To the marrow of belief

Oh, to have a distilled sense of sensing
Does the banshee get tired of lamenting?
Daisies can't become daffodils
So why should I become this?
Yet I feel your love carve through the waters
Round the landscape of somebody's daughter
You call me peninsula
An island no more

Mountains and mountain walks
I am of the above
Don't cast aside, dare to cleave
To the marrow of belief

When you go over, I'll go under
When you go over, I'll go under
Don't let our vessels be carried asunder
When you go over, when you go over
When you go over, I'll go under
When you go over, I'll go under
Don't let our vessels be carried asunder
When you go over, when you go over

Mountains and mountain walks
I am of the above
Don't cast aside, dare to cleave
To the marrow of belief
Mountains and mountain walks
I am of the above
Don't cast aside, dare to cleave
To the marrow of belief
