Glory, I have known you my whole life
In the morning, you come in gentle as a golden vine
Through my window, you fill up the valleys in my sheets. glory

Glory, I have known you on a black crow night
From my rooftop, shining in the alabaster moonlight
And the rats all scratch in the attic under my feet. glory

Glory, you are the anvil for my hardened heart
Glory, you're the only mystery I can see
I have known you as the song that goes before me
And the only one who'll be there when I'm gone
