Cloud of Unknowing Lyrics by 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 for...the speed of light
    Here he is, reaching for...the 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
