[Intro] [Verse] The ceiling has nine beams I had never counted them There is a chip in the third one Near the western wall The columns are not even The fourth is slightly short Someone must have known that And laid it anyway There is water in the courtyard It does not stop It does not stop It does not stop [Middle] I am looking at the ceiling I am counting all the beams There are nine There are nine There are nine [Verse] When it was over the water was still going and the light had moved about a hand across the floor That is how I know how long it was [Outro]
