She's like a lantern in winter
She's like a lantern in winter
Glass in the cold, spark of the old,
She's like a lantern in winter
"Come to my window, sweet William
Come to my window, sweet William
Come on and dance, you'd kill for the chance,
Come to my window, sweet William."
Seasons are shattered and rising
Seasons are shattered and rising
From your shifting selves, like rocks on rock shelves
Seasons are shattered and rising
She comes to tease you with poems
She comes to tease you with poems
That prickle your fur, that go beyond her
She comes to tease you with poems
You stole a pig's soul for the money
You stole a pig's soul for the money
You wandered on down to the far side of town
Where you stole a pig's soul for the money
Seasons are shattered and rising
Seasons are shattered and rising
From your shifting selves, like rocks on rock shelves
Seasons are shattered and rising
You all were tiddly winkers
And carelessly breathing deep thinkers
Who traded your gifts where the sunflower lifts
To the sun's little secret from blinkers |
