Album: Reveal
(Buck/Mills/Stipe)
The sun reflected in the back of my eye
I knocked my head against the sky
The Dragonflies are busy buzzing me
Seahorses if we were in the sea
Halfway from coal, halfway to diamond
My fall knocked a mean chip out of me
I'm gathering as far as I can reach
We're perched up on the precipice
And this is what I've seen
(chorus)
This is all I want, it's all I need
This is all I am, it's everything
This is all I want, it's all I need
A bluejay hectors from the felled catalpa tree
Doctorate in science and a theologian's dream
The dragonflies are trying to lecture me
Seahorses if we were in the sea
(repeat chorus)
Beat a drum for me, like a butterfly wing
Tropical storm across the ocean
Don't explain, I'm sure I'll want to know
Don't forget, we're just halfway from coal
(repeat chorus)
