|
His clothes hang tired |
|
On his lonely awkward frame |
|
They protect his bones |
|
Like the folds of a bats wing cape |
|
He talks to the wind |
|
His breath spelling something |
|
She draws near |
|
But the words hit the floor |
|
And the one he adored never hears |
|
As twelve harps play and time breaks the waves, she never hears |
|
Faceless among all the tears |
|
That reflect from her stone |
|
As the crowd turns away he is left there |
|
To grieve on his own |
|
Leaving his heart on a harp |
|
That he placed on her grave |
|
He relied on the wind |
|
But he knew she could never be saved |
|
As twelve harps play and time breaks the waves, faintly she hears |
|
You were the jewel |
|
That I failed to unearth while I breathed |
|
Deaf to the chimes |
|
And blind to your eyes guiding me |
|
Secretly watching you gave me your hand |
|
I was safe in your care |
|
I could have danced in the ball of your eyes |
|
If I'd known you were there |
|
As twelve harps play and time carries their waves |
|
All through the years at last she can hear now |
|
Clouds full of melodies |
|
Banish those memories |
|
It's all they'll ever need |
|
They'll whisper through empty streets |
|
And wild weathervanes |
|
In the wind and the rain |
