Lyrics:
There’s a diver on a plate
In blue ceramic waves
From behind an inch of glass
It’s cracked in perfect ways
It overwhelms the soul, he tells his daughter
It overwhelms the soul, if you want it
He’s turned over every stone
And returns to mysteries
Successful and satisfied
But only technically
Yes he
’
s everywhere we go, he says to the stroller
But there are places like these where we might get closer
Where ya going now?
Alberta deer evade a soaring arrow
And between two leaning trees children find a mirror
Embarrassed by his zeal—it never seemed to suit him—
He has no great remark for all this beauty
Embarrassed by his zeal—it never seemed to suit him
Embarrassed by his zeal—although it did change him
It overwhelms the soul, he tells his daughter
He often wonders where he’s going
When the sun goes down it goes down
Ain’t it nice for once not to cry?
Ain’t it nice for one that you cried?
You’ve been trying every day not to try
So don’t try
Ain’t it nice to have something to do?
Ain’t it nice to have nothing to do?
Tell me something that’s true
Ain’t it nice
