Lyrics
The Giving Things
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
That talk is just a worry and a worry in a man
That life is just a worrying and getting in a mess
That deal is just awakening his spirit to be giving him
The pleasure of the giving things within
This day is of a meeting of the manner to be borne
And like a ship you come safely to the shore of love eternal
