lyrics

Drain the ink from the basin
Spread sand on the words so they’ll dry
The news will come with morning
The letter reads ‘your child has died’

And we weep for what never was
Plant the bones and hope the house won’t collapse
I tried my hardest to reach you
But the fissures grew too fast

The nights were annulled by our silence
We forgot how to smell, and to scratch
The barren fields stretch onwards towards the afterlife and still
We cling to our piles of ash

How we clashed through those bitter days
The hearth and the forge tilled their flames
The embers remember, but thy never speak of love
As we draw back our linens the same

And on through another year
Another sodden decade dragged by
Although we clung to the clothes of our past
Time went on advancing beyond our grasp

Yet I still cherish you
Though we’ve turned to stone
The lilac tree may bloom again someday
If we should give it room to grow

Your touch is the succor I long for
As coins gleam on your eyes and your tongue
