《I Do Not Know Its Name》歌词

[00:00:00] I Do Not Know Its Name - Carrie Newcomer

[00:00:17] He leaned and whispered as he turned the page

[00:00:23] And he said make yourself into a flame

[00:00:29] A crazy old lion with his hair all backlit

[00:00:35] Grinnin' like a little boy who has a secret

[00:00:45] I do not know its name

[00:00:48] Though it's ever intertwining

[00:00:53] And I believe it must look like an old man shining

[00:01:04] We were eating summer peaches by a roadside stand

[00:01:10] Juice running down like laughter on our chin and on our hands

[00:01:16] When we were done we looked around and smiled at each other

[00:01:23] And you said come on carrie let's have another

[00:01:33] I do not know its name

[00:01:36] No matter how I try

[00:01:40] But I believe it must taste like peaches eaten by the roadside

[00:01:52] He drove a rental car shuttle to the airport on Sundays

[00:01:58] We chatted that gray morning 'bout the choir he sang with Wednesdays

[00:02:04] He sang a haunting gospel hymn shameless and clear

[00:02:10] With only me a wandering stranger sitting there to hear

[00:02:21] I do not know its name

[00:02:24] Elusive and subtle

[00:02:28] But I believe it must sound like that man singing in the shuttle

[00:03:03] Standing in the river barefoot in the current

[00:03:09] I hear the sound a bird calling and I try to learn it

[00:03:15] The water is a wonder it's cold and fast and deep

[00:03:20] I saw fish go swimming out too far for me to reach

[00:03:32] I do not know its name

[00:03:35] Swimmer or watcher

[00:03:39] But I believe that there is always something

[00:03:42] Moving beneath the water

[00:03:51] If holy is a sphere that cannot be rendered

[00:03:58] There is no middle place because all of it is center

[00:04:09] I do not know its name

[00:04:15] I do not know its name

[00:04:21] I do not know its name
