Lyrics

[01:05.353] Childhood made a Poet's Lyre
[01:12.687] Hands embroidered in limbs of dark briar
[01:19.707] Bent to the wind's plaintive whistling words
[01:26.783] Scattering whispers in your nettled hood
[01:33.908] Would they fall to a weathered home
[01:40.936] With branches of arms for a laden pillow
[01:48.065] And years wrought of withering laurels
[01:55.592] Blossoms now on the apple boughs
[02:02.516] Stars are near to the shaded arbor
[02:09.950] Once a hand could touch
[02:17.178] Wherefore the other will search
[02:22.016]
[03:08.264] Childhood made a Poet's Lyre
[03:15.474] Heart enfolded in wings of black bird
[03:22.907] Could they fly on feathers borne
[03:29.985] When lips salute the Hazel's Horn
[03:37.463] Or would they crawl through a weathered home
[03:44.097] Should lips encumber a mordant moan
[03:51.782] Bent to the wind's whistling word
[03:59.245] What cloudy guest at this darkened hearth
[04:06.928] What cloistered heart to hold the black earth
[04:14.761] Once a hand could touch
[04:22.099] Wherefore the other will search
