        Golden ratio	the     shell,

C               G               C               G

C               G               C               G
   The answers dressed in labyrinthine                     The

heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat

VERSE 2 (Chords as verse 1):
The meteoric warp and wend
In counterbalance to the sparks ever ascending
The arrow time shoots forward though it moves through repetition
To the heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat

What is it drives the driven snow?
Upon whose temples will I rest my weary hopes now?
The rain distills down steeples fills the ears of lonely church mice with the
Heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat
