lyrics

i wish to god that i could tell
all the ways i mean you well
to boldly speak out loud, not care who's hearing

i found some kind of hidden law:
stonefruit has a bitter core
and i cannot speak my wonder without fearing

i search and search and cannot see
the simple path in front of me
that leads me to the simple truth i'm seeking

like there's some other place that i
in ignorance perhaps slipped by
on the road that i've been taking

i wish to god i would not waste
the bountiful and the pleasing taste
of the gracious food that's placed upon my table

it's not so easy to ignore
stonefruit has a bitter core
and i find that i'm not able

i wish to god that it was so
that i could stand to never know
the promise of the sun upon hot sand

i've lived a life of lucky bliss
the gentle hand, the open fist
the open fist and the gentle hand

but we rise together out and down
the joyless sting and the barren ground
oh, won't you tell me what you want - i'll do it all

i search and search and cannot find
in weariness my peace of mind
the brittle light too bright, the summer sky too tall
