Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Who moved the black castle
Who moved the white queen
When Gimme and Daleth where standing between?

Out of the evening growing a veil
Pining for the pine woods that ached for the sail
There's something forgotten I want you to know
The freckles of rain they are telling me so

Oh, it's the old forgotten question
What is it that we are part of?
And what is it that we are?

And an elephant madness has covered the sun
The judge and the juries they play for the fun
They've torn up the roses and washed all the soap
And the martyr who marries them dares not elope

Oh, it's the never realized question
What is it that we are part of?
And what is it that we are?

Oh long, oh long ever yet my eyes
Braved the gates enormous fire
And the body folded 'round me
And the person in me grew

The flower and its petal
The root and its grasp
The earth and its bigness
The breath and its gasp

The mind and its motion
The foot and its move
The life and its pattern
The heart and its love

Oh, it's the half-remarkable question
What is it that we are part of?
And what is it that we are?
Who moved the black castle   Who moved the white queen   When Gimme and Daleth where standing between?      Out of the evening growing a veil   Pining for the pine woods that ached for the sail   There's something forgotten I want you to know   The freckles of rain they are telling me so      Oh, it's the old forgotten question   What is it that we are part of?   And what is it that we are?      And an elephant madness has covered the sun   The judge and the juries they play for the fun   They've torn up the roses and washed all the soap   And the martyr who marries them dares not elope      Oh, it's the never realized question   What is it that we are part of?   And what is it that we are?      Oh long, oh long ever yet my eyes   Braved the gates enormous fire   And the body folded 'round me   And the person in me grew      The flower and its petal   The root and its grasp   The earth and its bigness   The breath and its gasp      The mind and its motion   The foot and its move   The life and its pattern   The heart and its love      Oh, it's the half-remarkable question   What is it that we are part of?   And what is it that we are?
