        Golden ratio    the     shell,
 
C               G               C               G
   The stairs ascending round themselves                       The
 
C               G               F               G
trees           rustle as if to kneel and       listen  to the

C               G               C               G
   The answers dressed in labyrinthine                     The
 
C               G               F               G
telescopes atop the mountains of ecstatic       vision listening to 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
