Heron Blue |
Don’t cry my love, don’t cry no more |
A crashing sky a rolling screen |
A city drowning gods black tears |
I cannot bear to see |
She lay under the midnight moon |
Her restless body stirring |
Until the magic morning hour |
Like poison it succumbs her |
Her baby skin, her old black dress |
Her hair it twists around her necklace |
Constricts and chokes like ruthless vines |
To sleep she overtakes her |
Her room is painted Heron Blue |
Lit by candlelight and chandelier |
And from her headboard perched so high |
A million dreams have passed her |
Don’t cry my love don’t cry no more |
It overwhelms my breaking heart |
A minor swell of violins |
I cannot bear to hear them |
A mother shepherds her young birds |
She fills their mouths and warms their souls |
Til they are strong and good to fly |
Away from her alone she’ll die |
Cradle on quiet old oak limbs |
As heaven blue her light fails |
A breath of soot into her lungs |
A life, a journeys end in one |
Don’t sing that old sad hym no more |
It resonates inside my soul |
It haunts me in my waking dream |
I cannot bear to hear it Don’t play those violins no more |
Their melancholic overtones |
They echo off the floor and walls |
I cannot bear to hear them |
