The Lily |
| I left a sign with a candle |
| In the streetlight that shone below |
| Where through the night |
| The people dance in linen and smoke |
| I still remember her song in my head |
| Each palm in time |
| Every face in that light |
| As their mouths bellowed |
| Now they tell me she’s just vanished |
| Some other place by the sea |
| But to me she was banished |
| By herself not by me |
| And though I still remember |
| The streetlights are low |
| Now dull in the night |
| And the dance has gone quiet |
| But the sea still bellows |
| See the island on fire |
| And the towers align; |
| Built in silos of sea |
| Underneath every street |
| Lily spoke of a city’s bones |
| An ancient rubble of time and stone |
| Where the walls tremor under the sky |
| Covered day after day by the tide |
| Could I save them if I tried? |
| If only I could |
| We shine our light across the ocean |
| A Troy this city has burned |
| We shine our light across the ocean |
| A fire on ships will return |
| We shine our light |
