Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] The vellum is dry The ink is too dark I count every curd And leave a small mark The 'Monsieur de Bleu' Is weeping its salt I hide a small wedge Deep in the vault [Pre-Chorus] A crumb for the mouse A slice for the soul I slip past the house While bells start to toll [Chorus] Between the thyme and lavender We taste the age of stone A silent, soft commander We are never quite alone The rind is thick with history The center soft and white Our taxonomy of mystery In the fading golden light [Post-Chorus] Oh the salt Oh the whey What the ledger Won't say [Verse] You bring the bread I bring the knife This quiet cheese This quiet life The 'St. Gall's Gold' Is blooming in grey What the abbot don't know We won't betray [Pre-Chorus] Your hands smell of sage My fingers of wax We turn every page While the discipline lacks [Chorus] Between the thyme and lavender We taste the age of stone A silent, soft commander We are never quite alone The rind is thick with history The center soft and white Our taxonomy of mystery In the fading golden light [Bridge] Dust on the wood Salt on your lip I’d stay if I could I’d let the ink slip A hundred years pass The cellar stays cold Like dew on the grass Like velvet and mold [Hook] Latin names for lonely things Underneath the angels' wings Creamy heart and bitter skin Where the holy dreams begin [Verse] I write in the margin Of 'Sharp' and of 'Sweet' But look at the garden And look at your feet The taxonomy fails When the heart is so full While the heavy wind wails Through the leather and wool [Chorus] Between the thyme and lavender We taste the age of stone A silent, soft commander We are never quite alone The rind is thick with history The center soft and white Our taxonomy of mystery In the fading golden light [Post-Chorus] Oh the salt Oh the whey What the ledger Won't say [Outro]
