O, Porcupine - MeWithoutYou[00:00:00]

Without a queen the locust swarm[00:00:21]

Turned the ground to black[00:00:24]

Descending like a shadowy tower opon a fish's back[00:00:29]

And scattered the sticks who crawled[00:00:35]

Like snakes in the sand[00:00:37]

As the red clay took the form of a lizard[00:00:42]

Who rushed like a moth to the flame of my open hand[00:00:45]

My little worldin my sad little world[00:00:49]

Then a speckled bird humbly inspired[00:00:56]

Ran across the road when it could have flown[00:00:59]

And it made me smile[00:01:03]

And at the water's edge Babylon[00:01:05]

As we lay and slept[00:01:08]

The river wept for you Zion[00:01:10]

The stones cry out[00:01:13]

Bells shake the sky[00:01:15]

All of creation groans[00:01:16]

Shhh[00:01:18]

Listen to it[00:01:24]

Messes of men in farmer poverty[00:01:26]

Not much for monks but we pretend to be[00:01:29]

Share a silent meal and a pot of chamomile[00:01:32]

Gypsies like us should be stamped in solidarity[00:01:35]

And I held you in my fond but distant memory[00:01:39]

While waiting for the mother hen to gather me[00:01:43]

Who regretfully wrote[00:01:45]

You have a decent ear for notes[00:01:47]

But you can't yet appreciate harmony[00:01:50]

O porcupine low in the tree your eyes to mine[00:02:00]

'You'd be well inclined not to mess with me'[00:02:05]

And at the garden's edge beneath a speechless sky[00:02:09]

As his friends slept[00:02:12]

Jesus wept and it's no wonder why[00:02:14]

You wanna be set free[00:02:17]

You wanna set me free[00:02:19]

Well that can only come from[00:02:21]

A union with the one who never dies[00:02:22]

In my little world in my sad little world[00:02:24]

I patched a plaster wall[00:02:28]

In my little world[00:02:32]

I was waiting just dying[00:02:33]

To take offense at something[00:02:35]

In my little world in my[00:02:37]

Little world in my sad little world[00:02:39]

This is all there is in my little world[00:02:43]

In darkness a light shines[00:03:39]

On me[00:03:44]

In darkness a light shines[00:03:47]

On you[00:03:51]

Oh what'd I say[00:03:55]

I never gathered figs from a thorny branch[00:03:57]

Oh what'd I say[00:03:59]

I never picked a grape off a bramble bush[00:04:00]

Oh what'd I say[00:04:03]

For the past five almost six years now[00:04:04]

Our Lord is come[00:04:06]

You haven't once looked at me with kindness in your eyes[00:04:06]

Oh what'd I say[00:04:09]

Judas is a brother of mine[00:04:10]

Oh what'd I say[00:04:11]

Oh but sister in our darkness a light shines[00:04:12]

Oh what'd I say[00:04:15]

The rest of my life[00:04:16]

Oh What'd I say[00:04:17]

And through I've been mistaken on this or that point[00:04:19]

That light is God[00:04:23]
