作词 : A. Phillips 作曲 : A. Phillips At the dusty road's divide We took the left fork for a mile, to reach a black cast iron gate. And as the rusty hinges yawned, Through the trees we saw the path into the old estate. Stone lions alone Can't keep us out While eagles & crows are sleeping. We followed the road open mouthed We watched as the old place breathed its last. Yellow diggers in a row Cough back into life and stretch to gulp the dusty sunlight. Through the rafters through the brick, Chimneys fall and push the past out through the broken skylight. Stone lions in rows, rising up In driveways and private gardens. Stone lions alone, guarding us from gargoyles and long lost pardons. Stone eagles and crows flying off to new and forgotten places. Stone lions alone staring out into our newborn faces. Stone lions alone Stone lions alone Stone gods creep across The terraces, keystones and backstreet places. Dust, fossils, and mud Perishes into our newborn faces.
