Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Some people say that it's all just conjecture
Like trying to synthesize undergrad lectures
With the wrought iron balconies
In Greenwich this spring
[Verse 2]
There's a schism, a chasm of language
Between the taste and the thought of this sandwich
Between the thing and the myth I make
To feign meaningfulness
[Verse 3]
Mountain is and mountain was
I am all of the above
Don't cast aside, dare to cleave
To the marrow of belief
[Verse 4]
How absurd just to live in this body
In this town and not south Nagasaki
Or anywhere else with a name
Unknown to myself
[Verse 5]
In Tibet, I'd be bowing to Buddha
At Kachemak Bay, I'd see pods of belugas
With light pouring into my eyes
And no image the same
[Verse 6]
Mountain is and mountain was
I am all of the above
Don't cast aside, dare to cleave
To the marrow of belief
[Verse 7]
Oh, to have a distilled sense of sensing
Does the banshee get tired of lamenting?
Daisies can't become daffodils
So why should that become this?
[Verse 8]
Yet I feel your love carve through the waters
Round the landscape of somebody's daughter
You call me peninsula
An island no more
[Verse 9]
Mountain is and mountain was
I am all of the above
Don't cast aside, dare to cleave
To the marrow of belief
[Verse 10]
When you go over, I'll go under
When you go over, I'll go under
Don't let our vessels be carried asunder
When you go over, when you go over
[Verse 11]
When you go over, I'll go under
When you go over, I'll go under
Don't let our vessels be carried asunder
When you go over, when you go over
[Verse 12]
Mountain is and mountain was
I am all of the above
Don't cast aside, dare to cleave
To the marrow of belief
[Verse 13]
Mountain is and mountain was
I am all of the above
Don't cast aside, dare to cleave
To the marrow of belief
