|
Semaphore through the seasons |
|
With these ageing hands |
|
Drunk with death and lilies |
|
Twilight in the land |
|
Time is a friend to no one |
|
And makes it very clear |
|
The sun is far behind you |
|
And November frost is here |
|
As the shadows fall |
|
As the day is done |
|
let the clock wind down |
|
Let the bells be rung |
|
Dead seeds for our harvest |
|
Mould upon our bread |
|
Jackals drown out the service |
|
Three witches by our bed |
|
The pendulums waving, |
|
Looking down at the rocks |
|
Dance along the black brick road, |
|
Knock, knock on Pandora's box |
|
As the shadows fall |
|
As the day is done |
|
Let the clock wind down |
|
Let the bells be rung |
