00:00:01.950 --> 00:00:05.400 align:middle line:84%
Recently, I was going to put
together a collection called--

00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:08.460 align:middle line:84%
and I was going to
call it Earth Dweller.

00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:10.920 align:middle line:90%
You know, something's happened.

00:00:10.920 --> 00:00:15.475 align:middle line:84%
The feeling we have,
it's like an option now.

00:00:15.475 --> 00:00:18.090 align:middle line:84%
It used to be like
an inevitability.

00:00:18.090 --> 00:00:20.250 align:middle line:84%
And I realize it's
almost inevitable now.

00:00:20.250 --> 00:00:22.410 align:middle line:84%
But anyway, there's
a different feeling.

00:00:22.410 --> 00:00:27.450 align:middle line:84%
"Earth Dweller, The
Spaceship We're On."

00:00:27.450 --> 00:00:32.430 align:middle line:84%
It was all the clods at
once become precious,

00:00:32.430 --> 00:00:37.140 align:middle line:84%
it was the barn, and the shed,
and the windmill, my hands,

00:00:37.140 --> 00:00:40.170 align:middle line:84%
the crack Arlie made
in the axehandle,

00:00:40.170 --> 00:00:42.870 align:middle line:84%
oh, let me stay here
humbly, forgotten,

00:00:42.870 --> 00:00:49.950 align:middle line:84%
to rejoice in it all, let the
sun casually rise and set.

00:00:49.950 --> 00:00:53.910 align:middle line:84%
If I have not found the
right place, teach me,

00:00:53.910 --> 00:00:58.380 align:middle line:84%
for somewhere inside, the
clods are vaulted mansions,

00:00:58.380 --> 00:01:02.370 align:middle line:84%
lines through the barn sing
for the saints forever,

00:01:02.370 --> 00:01:06.330 align:middle line:84%
the shed and windmill rear
so glorious the sun shudders

00:01:06.330 --> 00:01:08.760 align:middle line:90%
like a gong.

00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:13.350 align:middle line:84%
Now I know why people worship,
carry around magic emblems,

00:01:13.350 --> 00:01:17.340 align:middle line:84%
wake up talking dreams they
teach to their children,

00:01:17.340 --> 00:01:19.200 align:middle line:90%
the world speaks.

00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:21.390 align:middle line:84%
The world speaks
everything to us.

00:01:21.390 --> 00:01:23.750 align:middle line:90%
It is our only friend.

00:01:23.750 --> 00:01:26.000 align:middle line:90%
