Lepers and Roses |
The halo morning has dissolved |
The day is gone |
And nothing’s solved |
For you |
The sand castles are merely sand |
The sea has crawled back |
From your hand |
Too soon |
In fields where Susan sings |
The leopard brings |
Yesterday |
In upon a string |
And all your dead rainbows |
Begin to stain |
The lace on your raincoat |
So leave the blind |
Roses behind |
You |
Orpheus takes you by the hand |
Leads you into another land |
Land without shade |
Where trees are made |
For you, Tiresias |
Will try to find |
A monument |
To the death of eyes |
So leave the blind |
Roses behind |
You |
If you knew tomorrow was |
Just yesterday |
Hiding behind a mask |
What would you ask? |
What could you ask? |
Alpha and Omega laugh |
Behind a glass |
Sell bootstraps from a bag |
Nowhere to hide |
The rest is a lie |
So leave the blind |
Roses behind |
You |
