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

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