To think that I'd been sleepwalking all this time 
And the thread I ran behind 
Was twisted into this melody 
Leading me out through the forest 
Past the oaks to the apple trees 

And I saw you there, Evangelist 
Abuelo, Methuselah, Prometheus, trembling 
And you brought pic-a-nic baskets full of bread 
And sang songs to the great grandmother of Gilgamesh 

Praying for an unbroken line 
Braided, hand over hand 
Pulled taught over time 
And what did you get? 
Did you retrace your steps 
Through the spiralling labyrinth 
To the orchard that you can't quite forget? 

With acorn-pitted soles of feet 
and brass rubbing bark palm filigree 
Filling your fingernails with rock and earth 
Toenail black crescents of mud and leaves 

Do you shout out these questions, 
"When does a melody turn into a harmony? 
When does a harmony become a song?" 
So what 
What do we do with these bitterest herbs 
And these sweetest of fruit 
What do we do with this drunken melange? 

And why does it feel like the song never ends, 
It just changes its shape as it's passed tongue to tongue? 
It's not your burden alone to finish the tune 
But that doesn't mean you stop singing the song 

And what does it mean if the song never ends? 
If it's changing its shape as it's passed tongue to tongue 
It's not your burden alone to finish the tune 
But that doesn't mean you stop singing the song
