C# G# D# Fm D# C#
He leaned in and whispered, "Turn the page"
G# D# Fm D# C#
He said, "Make yourself in-to a flame"
G# D# Fm D# C#
A# crazy old lion with his hair all backlit
G# D# Fm D# C# G# D#
Grinning like a little boy who has a secret
[Chorus]
G# C#
And I do not know its name
D# Fm
Though it's ever entwining
G# D# Fm D# C# G# D#
But I believe it must look like an old man shining
[Verse]
C# G# D# Fm
We were eating summer peaches by a roadside stand
D# C# G# D# Fm D#
Juice running down like laughter, on our chin and on our hands
C# G# D# Fm D# C#
When we were done we looked around and smiled at each other
G# D# Fm D# C# G# D#
And you said, “Come on Carrie, let's have another"
[Chorus]
G# C#
And I do not know its name
D# Fm
No matter how I try
G# D# Fm D# C# G# D#
But I think it must taste like peaches eaten by the roadside
[Verse]
C# G# D# Fm D# C#
He drove a rental car shuttle to the airport on Sundays
G# D# Fm D# C#
We chatted that grey morning about the choir he sang with Wednesdays
G# D# Fm D#
He sang a haunting gospel hymn, shameless and clearly
C# G# D# Fm D# C# G# D#
With only me, a wandering stranger, sitting there to hear
[Chorus]
G# C#
And I do not know its name
D# Fm
Elusive and subtle
G# D# Fm D# C# G# D#
But I believe it must sound like that man, singing in the shuttle

[Verse]
C# G# D# Fm D# C#
Standing in the river, barefoot in the current
G# D# Fm D# C#
I hear the sound of a birdcall and I try to learn it
G# D# Fm D#
The water is a wonder, it's cold and fast and deep
C# G# D# Fm D# C# G# D#
I saw fish go swimming out, too far for me to reach
[Chorus]
G# C#
And I do not know its name
D# Fm
Swimmer or watcher
G# D# Fm D# C# G# D#
But I believe there is always something moving beneath the water
[Chorus]
G# C#
If holy is a sphere
D# Fm
That cannot be rendered
G# D# Fm D# C# G# D#
There is no middle place, because all of it is centre
[Outro]
G# C# D#
I do not know its name
G# C# D#
I do not know its name
G# C# D# C#
I do not know its name
