Golden ratio the shell,
C G C G
The stairs ascending round themselves The

heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat

The oxygen in priestly green,
C G C G
The answers dressed in labyrinthine The

telescopes atop the mountains of ecstatic vision listening to the
C G
heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat

VERSE 2 (Chords as verse 1):
The meteoric warp and wend
In counterbalance to the sparks ever ascending
The arrow time shoots forward though it moves through repetition
To the heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat
What is it drives the driven snow?
Upon whose temples will I rest my weary hopes now?
The rain distills down steeples fills the ears of lonely church mice with the
Heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat
