The Swallows Spiral Through Them
Solanaceae
5:09Linger in my shadow Ivy roses entwine round our feet This midnight garden Where covered angels come to weep Ages come and go Years like seasons pass A headless crown Is all that lasts We weather the storm Besides the Lion head Where we watch a crumbling world Rotten and sad The young, the old, the lonely, the strong Silently sip the poison of time Then with a gesture of salvation They turn into stone Ages come and go Years like seasons pass A headless crown Is all that lasts Weather-beaten hands Restrain the tide What joy and what beauty And what sadness is mine Falling are the leaves Lifeless stand the trees Forsaken stairs Lead to nowhere Ages come and go Years like seasons pass A headless crown Is all that lasts
