lyrics

Great Long While (Songbeard)

In the sultry morning, the saint was born
By the many hands only,
A body born away, born away

There's a pious prophecy
Steeped in secret, born to eternity,
Eternity.

{chorus}
Grow the songbeard

Sow the secret
Another song for the prophet to sing
Grow the songbeard

Sow the secret
Born away, born away.

In the pregnant empty, a song will grow
Seize your body, make you whole,
Make you whole

{chorus}

In the Kingdom counties, broken trail
A ong raised up
and you can hear it wail hear it wail
hear it wail

He's been sitting there a great long while, great long while
Sunlit silver hair, a great long while, great long while.
He's got a funny way about him and I don't know much about him

Born away, born away, born away
But he moves a certain way beneath his feet.
Maybe I'm a fool to coin a simple man a Jew

Born away, born away, born away
But he breathes a certain way beneath his teeth
He's been sitting there a great long while, a great long while

Born away, born away, born away
Sunlit silver hair, a great long while, a great long while

Born away, born away, born away
A great long while ... a great long while.
