Song | Lilja's Lament |
Artist | Indica |
Album | A Way Away |
Strolling under harbor lights, Lilja reads a line | |
‘Poor Tatiana’ | |
In another library, Rochester arrives | |
Oh lord, he’s half-blind | |
Lancelot and Guinevere came nowhere near the pier | |
No love this year | |
Marian called Robin Hood to save her from the sea | |
But words are cheap | |
Stories had been spun, a sea of metaphors were done | |
And Lilja heard but wonder’s thunder | |
All the books she read kept her in bed and hurt her head | |
Her tragic flaw was not a blunder | |
Percival got drunk and tossed his cup into the snow | |
Where’d the grail go? | |
Catherine found her Heathcliff but the Brontes died alone | |
Air gets so cold | |
Wind revives the balladeers sentenced to their words | |
Fog means return | |
For the bards and troubadours, sentences are worlds | |
We long but don’t learn | |
Stories had been spun, a sea of metaphors were done | |
And Lilja heard but wonder’s thunder | |
All the books she read kept her in bed and hurt her head | |
Her tragic flaw was not a blunder | |
Teeter totter by the harbor, Lilja looked up saw a starfish | |
Holding her hand was Ophelia, | |
Smith, Elliot; Plath, Sylvia | |
Stories had been spun, a sea of metaphors were done | |
But Lilja lived her blunder thunder | |
All the books she read put her to rest on a seabed | |
Her tragic flaw still makes me wonder | |
Stories had been spun, a sea of metaphors were done | |
But Lilja lived her blunder thunder | |
All the books she read put her to rest on a seabed | |
Her tragic flaw still makes me wonder | |
lalala laaa lalala lalaalaa lalalalalalaaa lalalalalaalaa laa laa laa |
