Crown of the Lost |
The night settles down on the water |
The feathers of sun gathering |
The trees wave their way to the morning |
The birds think about what they’ll sing |
I have dreams in which you’re a nightmare |
I have dreams in which you’re unfair |
But angels still dance in your garden and flowers still grow in your hair |
My tears leave a skull on the pillow |
My tooth leaves my blood on the sheet |
My heart sways the way of the willow |
My heart sways the way of the wheat |
But you are the queen of the lowlands |
You have the crown of the lost |
I found you broke up like a shipwreck |
I found you broke up on the rocks |
The horses come in from the cliff tops, their shadows upsetting the sea |
The waves swim their way to the bottom and stay there until they’re forgotten |
And you know about birds when they’re dying |
How they know that they’re going to die |
How they hide in the heart of the forest and sleep until death chances by |
You know that |
You know that |
