True Ways Of Knowing Lyrics

[Verse]
Not an ounce excessive, not an inch too little
Our easy reciprocations
You let me know
The way a boat would feel, if it could feel
The intimate support of water
The news your bring me has been news forever
And that I understand what a stone would say
Is it sad a grassblade
Can't know how it is lovely?

[Chorus]
It is said that you can't know, except by hearsay
You are the way, you are the way
My gossiping failing words say you are the way
You are the way

[Verse]
But that's excessive, and too little
Knowing the way a circle would describe its roundness
We touch two selves And feel, complete and gentle
The intimate support of being
The way that flight would feel a bird flying
Is the way a space that's in a stone that's in a water
Would know itself
If it had our way of knowing
If it had our way of knowing, well
[Bridge]
(?)

[Chorus]
It is said that you can't know, except by hearsay
You are the way, you are the way
My gossiping failing words say you are the way
You are the way
A water is that can clinch its palm and crumble
A boat's confiding timbers?
Timbers
My gossiping failing words say you are the way
Oh you are the way
