Gazing upwards, ride this river
The tide flows quick and sure delivers
Oh how the surface shines and quivers
And shivers with delight

From the rough, we make the smooth while planetary bodies move
Letters carved in deepest groove tonight

Reach into the nooks and crannies
In this lovers’ hootenanny
Reach into the nooks and crannies
In this lovers’ hootenanny
And glowing sing epiphanies, we sing each other home
In this lovers’ hootenanny we reach the nooks and crannies, we sing each other home

Lie upon this sturdy rock, drink dandelion and burdock
Grow into a great beanstalk and see the light

A language made from speaking tongues, of archetypes and dreaming Jung
And so the moon reflects the sun tonight

Reach into the (oh, oh) nooks and crannies (nooks and crannies)
In this lovers’ (oh, oh) hootenanny (hootenanny)
Reach into the (oh, oh) nooks and crannies
And glowing sing epiphanies, we sing each other home

Memorised, learned by heart
I study you like Descartes
With no linguistic counterpart, we harmonise like Mozart
You swallow me
Like Roland Barthes

Reach into the (oh, oh) nooks and crannies (nooks and crannies)
In this lovers’ (oh, oh) hootenanny (hootenanny)
Reach into the (oh, oh) nooks and crannies (nooks and crannies)
In this lovers’ (oh, oh) hootenanny
And glowing sing epiphanies, we sing each other home
In this lovers’ hootenanny, we reach the nooks and crannies, we sing each other home
