lyrics

When your face appeared
In the clearing smoke
I feared myself the victim of an impractical joke
It’s an onerous business
Sorting substance from chaff
But when the song of the finches
Fell upon my ears, I had to laugh

At how the audience to my confusion remained rapt
Kept believing when our hero came up short
Finally my reach was tempered by the modesty of my grasp
It’s a miracle of sorts

As if waking up were a feat enough
I recast all the wreckage as a tumble in the rough
But it was more than a trifle
It was hardly a lark
I was never insightful, as a rule
But couldn’t help remark

At how the audience to my confusion had been steadfast
Held their breath when once again I came up short
To think I’d live to grapple with the mysteries of my past
It’s a miracle of sorts

I always wondered whether intervention was a reasonable request
I’d be lying if I said the jury had returned
But if mercy was in question
That’s a lesson that I guess I learned
