Foothills - Snowblink

The most ordinary stone can build a holy home

And flowering fields are grown at the foothills

The most ordinary bones can build a holy man

And flowering fields stand at the foothills of your body

Why’d you have to have a body

Why’d you have to have a body

Such a beautiful body

Why’d you have to

Sierras rise in silhouette — jagged shadows ragged flight

And I was caught in a hawk’s claw over the foothills of your body

Why’d you have to have a heart

Why’d you have to have a heart

Such a hale and blameless heart

Why’d you have to

In my carrel, in my home, poring over your body’s tome

Staying up nights, staying up nights

Why’d you have to leave your body

Why’d you have to leave your body

Such a beautiful body

Oh why’d you have to, why’d you have to
