Lyrics
The live oak on Anthony Terrace has a fever, shedding gold.
Steering wheel is worn smooth, a story the leather's told.
First pass, just a scouting run to see if all the lights are on.
Second pass, to test the soil my courage will grow upon.

Will the Lord still glean a harvest from a heart that stays unseen?

(Main Vocal) So is this a prayer or am I just burning gasoline?
(Countermelody, airy, layered) "Come on by whenever..."
(Main Vocal) Will the Lord still glean a harvest from a heart that stays unseen?
(Countermelody, airy, layered) ...like a vine ain't gotta climb...
[Outro]
The turn signal just clicks its steady, one-note psalm.
