Lyrics
I do not fear in the valley of death and shadow.
I teach myself to release what I cannot control.
May the source of life bless us with freedom and peace.
Ease my beloved soul.
Ease my beloved soul.
When is the last time I heard you say you love me?
I close my eyes and you appear in holy company.
The grief has not ceased since I lost my goodbye.
God, if I am to suffer, at least tell me why.
Last night I dreamt I was a shepherd again.
I had my own mountain where you could sometimes hear the sharpened teeth of wolves.
I had a blind dog.
His named was God.
He spoke in tongues and sneered and barked at the moon.
At my sheep with golden wool.
Ever green painted shadows trickled down to the valley,
And I, out of fear, out of hunger,
I was biting with thirst the muted heart,
With which the earth is rocking her tortured children to sleep.
When I woke up I was holding in the cusp of my palms
The taste of Jonathon apples
Fallen on the grass on the skin growing
Slowly
Slowly
The smell of evergreen and sour memories.
