| The Light Is Leaving Us All
|
| West Street-the shutters shut dark
|
| The flowers flow and sing in the drift
|
| The Light Is Leaving Us All
|
| And in the night the cuckoos call
|
| To The Light That Is Leaving Us All
|
| Far away the RED BARN burns
|
| Oh rose you are dead
|
| And around you
|
| The storm kicks her heels
|
| And sucks
|
| The Light Which Is Leaving Us Now
|
| And I hear the steps in the night
|
| And I catch the beats of my heart
|
| And the lantern is blinding
|
| And bright burn the wedges in our eyes
|
| And The Light Is Leaving Us All
|
| On Long Lane where we fall
|
| Into the CauseWay
|
| I heard the Stars split open
|
| By the post-by the Moon
|
| By the chapel-call the surgeon
|
| The surgeon is dead
|
| Call the PoliceMan
|
| The PoliceMan is dead
|
| And the Moon is drunk
|
| And the NightNurse is sick
|
| And the murderer’s dead
|
| The assembly is killing time
|
| And the clock has slowed to sugar
|
| By the way-have you heard?
|
| The Light Is Leaving Us All
|
| So may I recall you
|
| The Light Is Leaving You Now
|
| Sly days sleep and fly
|
| Little villages drop down
|
| And sleep dull dreams full of milk
|
| Till you open up the curtains
|
| And observe and obey
|
| She opens up her eyes
|
| And she knows your name
|
| The Light Is Leaving Us All
|
| We are marked and we are named
|
| Beyond the BARN
|
| Where the young girl stumbles and falls
|
| Between her toes the flowers grow
|
| And on her eyes the flowers die
|
| And from her womb
|
| The Light Is Leaving Her Child
|
| And GunShot and knife
|
| And choke her neck
|
| And bury her in DeadTree
|
| Or fall her to the floor
|
| The Light Is Leaving Her All
|
| Always and utterly
|
| In the mud her prints are ghost
|
| And the candle burns in the floor
|
| Oh badness-sing on!
|
| The Light Is Leaving Us All
|
| Over in the Sun the EyeSparks trip
|
| And by the SeaShore the children skip
|
| Watch the IceCream watch the maiden
|
| Watch the killer strong
|
| And please read the First Book
|
| And consider the fall
|
| The Light Is Leaving Us All |
