Artist/Band: Josh Ritter
Lyrics for Song: Lark
Lyrics for Album: So Runs The World Away [2010]



he golden ratio the shell

The stairs ascending round themselves

The trees rustle as if to kneel and listen

To the heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat



The oxygen in priestly green

The answers dressed in labyrinthine

The telescopes atop the mountains of ecstatic vision listening

To the heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat



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



The meteoric warp and wend

In counterbalance to the spark ever ascending

The arrow shoots forward though it moves through repetition

To the heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat



What is it that drives the driven snow now?

Upon whose temples with 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



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
