The night settles down on the water
Feelers of sun gather in
Trees wait their way to the morning
The birds think about what to sing
I have dreams in which you are a nightmare
I have dreams in which you are unfair
But angels still dance in your garden
And flowers still grow on your head
My tears leave a skull on the pillow
My truth leaves the blood on the sheet
My heart's as a way of the willow
My heart's as a way of the wheat
But you are the queen of the lowlands You have the crown of the lost
I found you broke up like a shipwreck
I found you broke up on the rocks
The houses come in from the cliff
tops Their shadows have set in the sea
The waves wind their way to the bottom
And stay there until they're forgotten
And you know about birds when they're dying
How they know that they're going to die
How they hide in the heart of the
forest And sleep until death tells a spy
You know that
you
