Rickie Lee Jones - Cloud of Unknowing lyrics

So he dropped the webs of the spider
Of heaven down through the clouds
All the way into the pool of
Blood at the bottom of hell
Far above in heaven a bird flys
Through the terrible cloud of unknowing
Trust can make a man into a wood
Trust can make a man green
An everything that longs to Be
Broken and small enough to see
To be held in his hands
To be a part and yet alone
Here he is, reaching forthe speed of light
Here he is
Reaching forthe sound of forgiveness
Now wounding 'round the waterfront she
Listens for a voice
A sign of Mother God, a sign of God the lad
I long to enter you
With gentleness and compassion
But sorrow is always an open door
I know many days go by and I
Forget to look up at the stars
I forget there are stars
I forget there is the rest
Thin threads of light follow you around
Through the pale blue, down your skin
Down your skin
