Rufus Wainwright - Unseen Buds Movement Iii Lyrics

Compact, sleeping.
Compact, sleeping.
Compact, sleeping.

Unseen buds, infinite, hidden well,
Under the snow and ice, under the darkness, in every square or cubic inch,
Germinal, exquisite, in delicate lace, microscopic, unborn,
Like babes in wombs, latent, folded, compact, sleeping;
Compact, sleeping.
Billions of billions, and trillions of trillions of them waiting.

(Repeats)

Compact, sleeping. Latent, folded.
Compact, sleeping. Latent, folded.
Compact, sleeping.
Buds. Waiting.

On earth and in the sea — the universe — the stars there in the heavens,
Urging slowly, surely forward, forming endless,
And waiting ever more, forever more behind.

(Repeats)

Billions and billions and billions and billions.
Billions and billions and billions and billions.

(Repeats)

Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine
Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine

(Repeats)

Compact, sleeping.
Compact, sleeping.
Billions and billions, and trillions and trillions of them waiting!
