Ana Silvera - Song For Daniel lyrics

Sky, heavy as bell rope Is ringing the changes August has cried In her swell-bellied labours She climbs up the steeple And waits for the chime Halos of rain on the conifers shine Halos of rain on the conifers shine I'd like the world to stop Just for one morning And tell me the hour Now this kingdom is fallen The livery's decked And the courtiers are bloody And lillies grow now From his mouth and his body And I could pound nettles Till my hands were blistered But swans crowd the lake and no - I'm not their sister In pedalos once we were brave sailor men One two we fell, and then we stood again... In pedalos once we were brave sailor men One two we fell, and then we stood again... I want to be grand To mourn as an actor Playing a bit part So I don't have to feel this Extend my arm gracefully Sipping in silence Bone china, behind a veil So not to see this And I search without walls And I search without finding I search like a blind man With fortune to guide me In pedalos once We were brave sailormen One two we fell And then we stood again... Roots, pale in September And tender as memory Seed in the rooftops And flower in the belfry Silent in amber That once winter time We slept safe as houses My brother and I We slept safe as houses My brother and I
