Scallop Shell

from The Weight of Smoke by Edible Tent

lyrics

Give me my scallop shell of quiet,
My staff of faith to walk upon,
My scrip of joy, immortal diet,
My bottle of salvation.
My gown of glory, hope’s true gage,
And thus I’ll take my pilgrimage.

Over the silver mountains
Where spring the nectar fountains.
There will I kiss the bowl of bliss,
And drink my eternal fill on every milken hill.

Give me my scallop shell of quiet,
My staff of faith to walk upon,
My scrip of joy, immortal diet,
My bottle of salvation.
My gown of glory, hope’s true gage,
And thus I’ll take my pilgrimage
