Impermanent Record

verse 1 I was trembling with gooseflesh First time I prayed to speak in tongues I saw it coming and I tried to run But now I make it up as I go along Do I drive around with my high beams on Do I ever watch the road I store my thoughts in other people's heads Then I question what they know The rain falls on the animals The wind blows up the dirt I Climb the rock make a home in the cleft And keep a record of the earth Bridge On a crowded city sidewalk Or in the wilderness alone The crowd of witnesses hover above you Like a a pillar of smoke Singing stories whispering jokes So The rain falls on the animals The wind blows up the dirt I Climb the rock I make a home in the cleft And I Keep a record of the earth I keep a record of the earth And I write it down for what it's worth For what it's worth
