lyrics

Roots and wings, wings and roots
One likes soil, the other likes boots
One grows weary and one grows shoots
Roots and wings, wings and roots.
Wngs and roots, roots and wings
One gets torn between these things
So she is and so she sings,
“Wings and roots, roots and wings.”
Grasp at the knee and grasp at the elbow
One ran free, the other knelt low
Rolling on the ground to the sound of thunder
One hand above, the other hand under.
Keep it down deep so no one can steal it
One hand to hide, the other to reveal it
Feed it to him slowly so he can feel it
One kiss to start, another to seal it.
Bind it with twine but stop when it strangles
Fortune will mold and fortune will mangle
Keep a straight path but curve when it crumbles
One foot to stand and one foot to stumble.
Grip on the wheel and press on the pedal
Smelling of melting marrow and metal
Breath so slow just so it can know you
One hand above and one hand below you.
One arises from the deepest well
One alights from the highest bell
Look for me at the point where they dwell.
