Lyrics Alleluia (Again) - Steve Slagg

My man's a fiddlehead fern
He tastes so good once you learn
My man's a barrier reef
Bursting with life underneath
My man's a trout in the brook
He knows exactly where to look
My man's a common raccoon
He'll have us outnumbered soon

He hears the wild kindness
He knows the cruel blindness
His voice sounds much like mine, yes
He sings allelu, allelu, alle
Alleluia again

My woman is a joe-pye-weed
She knows how to get what she needs
My woman is a broad-winged hawk
She takes in the world while I talk
My one's the very dap fairy cap
They've got a hundred forty shapes under the hat
My only love's the canoe
Carries me into the blue

She feels the great world turning
She sees the edges burning
My favorite way of learning
She sings, "Hey you, little you, me too"
Alleluia again

Head rush of a feeling
Almost like I'm stealing
Every cell is reeling
They sing "I do, I do, I do"
Alleluia again

—

At the end of comfort
At the end of power
I listen for my lover
She sings, but I can't hear her
I see him, see him, see him
But I can't see clearer
I cannot see a thing
I sing
I sing alleluia again

Am I born to die?
To lay this body down?
And do I empty out these lungs
Into a world on fire
And do I sing desire?

I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I do
Allelu, allelu, alleluia
Allelu, allelu, alleluia
Allelu, allelu, alleluia
Allelu, allelu, alleluia
Allelu, allelu, alleluia
Allelu, allelu, alleluia
Allelu, allelu, alleluia
Allelu, allelu, alleluia
Alleluia
Alleluia
Alleluia
Alleluia
Alleluia
Alleluia
Alleluia
Alleluia
