Lyrics
sink into the ground wide and steady while the burning
flickers to a glow out the temple of your ear
while the levy of our predicament’s unyielding -
love come flood through here

in and round the walls of your heavy-minded palace
suddenly the air goes miraculously clear
un-cupping your brim of the never-ending chalice
in rushes love’s atmosphere

body, you’re the bell sounding through the heavy pulling
ringing out a calm from the belly of your sway
all there is to do now is really re-remember
that love is and tune its way

body is your bell sounding through the heavy pulling
ringing out a calm from the belly of your sway
all there is to do now is really re-remember
that love is and tune its way
