A thousand butterflies lifting away
As the hunter pursues his wounded prey
The diver and water coming face to face
In the shock of a birth such a strange grace

I can't, I can't, I can't keep
It's so, it's so, it's so deep

Walking through the sand soft with sea
Eating chicken curry with English tea
The secret in the small boy's secret garden
I've seen the women with the naked children

The winter owl in the snow-clean suburbs
Haunting the ordinary with wild wise proverbs
The crack of an eagle's egg the beast appears
And suddenly you've peeled back a million years
