Carefully and cursively we fill our travelling diaries with loss.

Beneath an angry Bible flood,

In my father's car we came to know.

And shivered in our painted clothes and paired like every animal below.

heavy As as a history book can be,

I will carry it with me, oh Lord.

And maybe when the bitterness has gone,

There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more.

Barefoot in a rowing boat,

There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more.

We'll soon forget our parents' names,

And weep with fingertips opposed,

Like a church where nobody congregates.

But sweetness sings in the pasture,
