lyrics

She opens what has been closed /
She closes what has been opened

Keep your charms on the doorpost
Point straight to the moon
Can't open a door now
Without stepping through

Light is the food and
The blood within you
You've waited so long now
The answer is soon

And if you look through that door
[here is a door]
There is nothing that you’ve seen before
[a choice to swing open]
If you leave, if you stay
[here is closing]
You’re on the hinge and it can go both ways
[by means of her divine presence]

Beans planted sideways
Still know how to grow
Can pull themselves upwards
To light, flowering, flesh, food

You know where you'll meet her
In the spaces between
From where you are going
To where you have been

And if you look at my face
[Here is] [the earth]
You’ll see something that you've half erased
[A path or a root]
Please don’t breathe down my neck
[Here is the thorn]
'Cause there’s no telling what will happen next
[By means of her divine presence]

She opens what has been closed /
She closes what has been opened
