C G C F C
VERSE 1:
C G C F C
Golden ratio the shell,
C G C G
The stairs ascending round themselves The
C G F G
trees rustle as if to kneel and listen to the
C G C F G C F G
heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat
C G C F C
The oxygen in priestly green,
C G C G
The answers dressed in labyrinthine The
C G F G
telescopes atop the mountains of ecstatic vision listening to the
C G
heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat

F C F C
I am assured, yes I am assured yes
Am G F C

A peace that can, yes surpass the speed yes
Am G F C

VERSE 2 (Chords as verse 1):
The meteoric warp and wend
In counterbalance to the sparks ever ascending
The arrow time shoots forward though it moves through repetition
To the heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat
What is it drives the driven snow?
Upon whose temples will I rest my weary hopes now?
The rain distills down steeples fills the ears of lonely church mice with the
Heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat
