A thousand butterflies lifting away   As the hunter pursues his wounded prey   The diver and water coming face to face   In the shock of a birth such a strange grace      I can't, I can't, I can't keep   It's so, it's so, it's so deep      Walking through the sand soft with sea   Eating chicken curry with English tea   The secret in the small boy's secret garden   I've seen the women with the naked children      The winter owl in the snow-clean suburbs   Haunting the ordinary with wild wise proverbs   The crack of an eagle's egg the beast appears   And suddenly you've peeled back a million years
