[00:07.19]	The light is leaving us all
[00:14.44]	West street-the shutters shut dark
[00:22.26]	The flowers flow and sing in the drift
[00:29.59]	The light is leaving us all
[00:36.58]	And in the night the cuckoos call
[00:40.37]	To the light that is leaving us all
[00:44.92]	Far away the red barn burns
[00:50.28]	Oh rose, you are dead
[00:53.24]	And around you
[00:55.19]	The storm kicks her heels
[00:58.07]	And sucks
[00:58.98]	The light which is leaving us now
[01:06.00]	And I hear the steps in the night
[01:13.31]	And I catch the beats of my heart
[01:28.17]	And the lantern is blinding
[01:31.34]	And bright burn the wedges in our eyes
[01:36.70]	And the light is leaving us all
[01:41.96]	On long lane where we fall
[01:45.45]	Into the causeway
[01:48.50]	I heard the stars split open
[01:53.04]	By the post, by the moon, by the chapel
[01:58.53]	Call the surgeon
[02:02.13]	The surgeon is dead
[02:03.97]	Call the policeman
[02:06.21]	The policeman is dead
[02:08.55]	And the moon is drunk
[02:11.62]	And the nightnurse is sick
[02:16.10]	And the murderer's dead
[02:19.03]	The assembly is killing time
[02:23.39]	And the clock has slowed to sugar
[02:26.54]	By the way–have you heard?
[02:31.34]	The light is leaving us all
[02:35.37]	So may I recall you
[02:38.76]	The light is leaving you now
[02:42.99]	Sly days sleep and fly
[02:48.79]	Little villages drop down
[02:51.88]	And sleep dull dreams full of milk
[03:03.23]	Till you open up the curtains
[03:07.00]	And observe and obey
[03:10.50]	She opens up her eyes
[03:13.09]	And she knows your name
[03:16.57]	The light is leaving us all
[03:20.42]	We are marked and we are named
[03:24.38]	Beyond the barn
[03:26.15]	Where the young girl stumbles and falls
[03:31.97]	Between her toes the flowers grow
[03:35.17]	And on her eyes the flowers die
[03:39.02]	And from her womb
[03:41.22]	The light is leaving her child
[03:46.73]	And Gunshot and knife
[03:50.53]	And choke her neck
[03:52.94]	And bury her in dead tree
[03:54.99]	Or fall her to the floor
[03:58.97]	The light is leaving her all
[04:03.15]	Always and utterly
[04:06.29]	In the mud her prints are ghost
[04:08.95]	And the candle burns in the floor
[04:13.01]	Oh badness–sing on!
[04:16.30]	The light is leaving us all
[04:23.95]	Over in the sun the eyesparks trip
[04:27.73]	And by the sea shore the children skip
[04:38.28]	Watch the ice cream watch the maiden
[04:41.77]	Watch the killer strong
[04:44.56]	And please read the first book
[04:47.03]	And consider the fall
[04:48.51]	The light is leaving us all

[00:07.19]	The light is leaving us all
[00:14.44]	West streetthe shutters shut dark
[00:22.26]	The flowers flow and sing in the drift
[00:29.59]	The light is leaving us all
[00:36.58]	And in the night the cuckoos call
[00:40.37]	To the light that is leaving us all
