A Certain Slant Of Light

Song A Certain Slant Of Light
Artist David Sylvian
Album Died In The Wool

Lyrics

There's a certain Slant of light,
Winter Afternoons –
That oppresses, like the Heft
Of Cathedral Tunes –
Heavenly Hurt, it gives us –
We can find no scar,
But internal difference,
Where the Meanings, are –
None may teach it – Any –
'Tis the Seal Despair –
An imperial affliction
Sent us of the air –
When it comes, the Landscape listens –
Shadows – hold their breath –
When it goes, 'tis like the Distance
On the look of Death –

There' s a certain Slant of light,
Winter Afternoons
That oppresses, like the Heft
Of Cathedral Tunes
Heavenly Hurt, it gives us
We can find no scar,
But internal difference,
Where the Meanings, are
None may teach it Any
' Tis the Seal Despair
An imperial affliction
Sent us of the air
When it comes, the Landscape listens
Shadows hold their breath
When it goes, ' tis like the Distance
On the look of Death
