[00:06.00]LRC by lzh, from jiangxi pingxiang
[04:25.91][03:46.46][03:27.03][02:36.17][02:16.18][01:48.09][01:29.11][01:01.77][00:41.44][00:14.00]
[00:16.76]He leaned in and whispered as he turned the page,
[00:23.06]And he said "Make yourself into a flame"
[00:28.79]A crazy old lion with his hair all backlit,
[00:34.85]Grinnin' like a little boy who has a secret.
[04:20.87][04:14.77][04:08.50][02:20.52][00:44.63]I do not know its name
[00:48.62]Though it's ever intertwining,
[00:53.39]And I believe it must look like an old man shining
[01:03.77]We were eating summer peaches by a roadside stand,
[01:10.57]Juice running down like laughter on our chin and on our hands
[01:16.21]When we were done we looked around and smiled at each other,
[01:22.26]And you said, "Come on Carrie, let's have another."
[01:33.20]And I do not know its name
[01:36.74]No matter how I try
[01:40.17]But I believe it must taste like peaches eaten by the roadside
[01:51.59]He drove a rental car shuttle to the airport on Sundays
[01:58.01]We chatted that grey morning 'bout the choir he sang with Wednesdays.
[02:04.10]He sang a haunting gospel hymn shameless and clear,
[02:10.24]With only me a wandering stranger sitting there to hear.
[02:24.04]Elusive and subtle,
[02:28.56]But I believe it must sound like that man singing in the shuttle.
[03:03.53]Standing in the river barefoot in the current,
[03:09.24]I hear the sound of a birdcall and try to learn it.
[03:15.34]The water is a wonder, it's cold and fast and deep,
[03:20.52]I saw fish go swimming out too far for me to reach.
[03:31.52]I do not know its name,
[03:35.13]Swimmer or watcher.
[03:38.46]But I believe that there is always something,
[03:43.04]Moving beneath the water.
[03:50.52]If holy is a sphere that cannot be rendered,
[03:58.41]There is no middle place because all of it is center
