Late November |
The wine it was drunk, the ship it was sunk |
The shot it was dead, all the sorrows were drowned |
The birds they were clouds, the brides and the shrouds |
And as we drew south the mist it came down |
The wooded ravine to the wandering stream |
The serpent he moved, but no-one would say |
The depths of the waters, the bridge which distraught us |
And brought to me thoughts of the ill-fated day |
The temples were filled with the strangest of creatures |
One played it by ear on the banks of the sea |
That one was found but the others they went under |
Oh the tears which are shed, they won’t come from me |
The methods of madness, the pathos and the sadness |
God help you all, the insane and wise |
The black and the white, the darkness of the night |
I see only smoke from the chimneys arise |
The pilot he flew all across the sky and woke me |
He flew solo on the mercury sea |
The dream it came back, all about the tall brown people |
The sacred young herd on the phosphorus sand |
