He wakes before the sun comes up
Leaves the sleeping house to collect more sound
He stands in reverence under towering trees
Tall as houses

Did you ever imagine
A world without seeing it
As the night came in he was listening
To a universe magnetized
He heard everything

It came with a fading light
Bringing familiar rooms into shadow now
He tapes every morning all the risen sounds
With this wow and flutter

Did you ever imagine
A world without seeing it
As the night came in he was listening
To a universe magnetized
He heard everything
As the dark came down he was listening
To a thousand dawns caught before
He heard everything
