lyrics

The crowded room was so full of life
The formal clothes
and the softest lights
And on the wall hanging overall,
“Aurora Taking Flight”
Behold the mountains in the scene
Does anyone here know just what that means?
So very near, mystic mountaineer,
who then began to teach
“Blessed are you who find stuff on the beach.”

My eyes are up here
But my body’s not where
I thought it would be by now
My eyes are up here
But my body’s nowhere close
To finding it out
My eyes are up here
But my body’s somewhere else
Just hanging around
What do you know about life?

Out along the forest road
The standing pines and the quiet groves
Spent a year just standing there,
never entered any rows
Quick now, here now, and always
Through the unknown, remembered gate
The temple’s here past the souvenirs
There’s a feeling about this place
“Blessed are you who take the staircase.”

My eyes are up here
But my body’s not where
I thought it would be by now
My eyes are up here
But my body’s nowhere close
To finding it out
My eyes are up here
But my body’s somewhere else
Just hanging around
What do you know about life?

Oh, the earth is calling me
And the stars with their sympathy
I traveled out far beyond the sun
just to look back at everyone
You were waving as I turned around
The seventh chapter jumped out at me
I sat a while in the sacristy
I came this far without a memoir
Is this all that it means?
“Blessed are you who keep your houses clean.”

My eyes are up here
But my body’s not where
I thought it would be by now
My eyes are up here
But my body’s nowhere close
To finding it out
My eyes are up here
But my body’s somewhere else
Just hanging around
What do you know about life?
What do you know about life?
What do you know about life?
