lyrics

AND SO I’M TOLD, ON A NIGHT SO COLD
IN A FOREST BLACK AND DEEP
THERE HANGS A SCENE WHOSE NONE EARS HAD SEEN
A SWOLLEN CLOUD OF SPEECH

THEIR THROATS TURNED OUT, LIKE EMPTY POCKETS SHRUG
AND FEATHERED IN CRIMSON DROPS
AND FROM HIS HAND A SWORD DID LAND
UPON THIS MOSSY RUG

TWO BABES HAD THEIR TIP-TOP BELLS WELL RANG
AND SANG IN WHISPERING REEDS
WAS LOUD AND BRIGHT FOR SUCH A DARKENED NIGHT
A CLOUDLESS NIGHT INDEED

AND IN THE MORN, A LARK DID LAND
UPON THIS UPTURNED HAND
THE YELLOW BREAST WAS UNIMPRESSED
AT THIS RETREAT TO THE LAND
