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

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