A Theory Of Everything Lyrics

A delicate sky embraced

The dawn of another day

And it laughed and played with the spectrum of color

Knowing the time it took

From a single desiring look

'Til the whole earth shook and deposited love

And I held your hand on the way to the ultrasound

And I shook with nervous resolve

And those distant plans were draped in a cotton gown

And that first beat I saw through the sobs

When Maya was five she fell

Down a 20-foot grassy hill

Which would have been cool were it not for the boulders

That cushioned her fall, therein

Causing an arm and rib

To be broken through only to be connected again

And I break my heart running after her

And I ask her where does it hurt

In that sunlit yard I'm kneeling to capture her

And I'm silently screaming to God

The fruits of July will make

The jams of the fall, which you

Will prepare in tune to a recipe handed down

On my grandmother's side, which aches

From the cough of a cold and age

Who recounts with rage the cost of her groceries

But I tune this out for the sound of the radio

And the last great mind I never saw

And you say out loud, "Oh, that must have been terrible for you."

And she says, "You'll see when you go."
