(Words and Music by Joan Baez)
2
Infinity gives me chills
3
So could the waters of Iceland
4
But there's a difference in finding diamonds in rust
5
And rhinestones in a dishpan
6
Miracles bowl me over
7
And often will they do so
8
Now I think I was asleep till I heard
9
The voice of the great Caruso
10
Bring infinity home
11
Let me embrace it one more time
12
Make it the lilies of the field
13
Or Caruso in his prime
14
A friend of mine gave me a tape
15
She'd copied from a record disc
16
It was made at the turn of the century
17
And found in a jacket labeled "misc."
18
And midst cellos, harps, and flugelhorns
19
With the precision of a hummingbird's heart
20
Was the lord of the monarch butterflies
21
One-time ruler of the world of art
22
Bring infinity home
23
Let me embrace it one more time
24
Make it the lilies of the field
25
Or Caruso in his prime
26
Yes, the king of them all was Enrico
27
Whose singular chest could rival
28
A hundred fervent Baptists
29
Giving forth in a tent revival
30
True he was a vocal miracle
31
But that's only secondary
32
It's the sould of the monarch butterfly
33
That I find a little bit scary
34
Bring infinity home
35
Let me embrace it one more time
36
Make it the lilies of the field
37
Or Caruso in his prime
38
Perhaps he's just a vehicle
39
To bear us to the hills of Truth
40
That's Truth spelled with a great big T
41
And peddled in the mystic's booth
42
There are oh so many miracles
43
That the western sky exposes
44
Why go looking for lilacs
45
When you're lying in a bed of roses?
46
Bring infinity home
47
Let me embrace it one more time
48
Make it the lilies of the field
49
Or Caruso in his prime
