And Also The Trees Only
There's a lamp that burns In a room up high There's a face that turns From side to side And I know that you will come to me If I wait here patiently Like a fly on the wall.
Bury me, bury me In the cotton folds And the sea of your hair Bury me When the window flashes black And the crack that opens up beneath me Bury me In the cotton folds and the sea of your hair And the music of the town That starts to circle round Tulips....bury me
And your figure turns down the spiral stairs Past the ancient faces Ever watching there And a hot wind blows Through churches gold Glass coloured beads I can see the straight Hear the sound of your feet Oh come to me Silver aquamarine.
Cover me, cover me In the desert's cold Night star splintered air Come to me Like a snake now like a cat You come closer through the slack Umbilical streets The cotton folds and the sea of your hair Undercurrents turning round Pull me up, set me down In bedrock...come to me.
