elephant micah - field notes lyrics

Loading...

you look for beauty in artlessness
and what you look for, you always find
in the voice of the mockingbird or his watcher’s words
and his body is colored in the onlooker’s eye

you’d give a prisoner an instrument
just to collect the song that he sings
and then take it away again when his long lament
seemed to have reach its ending

you’d gather up narratives from the native americans
just to transcribe the language they lose
listening for an archaic word when the story moves forward
you’d get the sound and the meaning confused

you’d place and easel before an animal
just to record the color she sees
and then fold it back up again when the canvas was stored
safely away in your gallery

you’d fly an airplane all above the fields
just to look down on the work as it’s done
note the unknowing design that the laborers make
then turn around and leave them out in the sun

you look for beauty in artlessness
and what you look for, you always find
in the voice of the mockingbird or his watcher’s words
and his body is colored in the onlooker’s eye
