lyrics
Within the trees in winter's grasp,
Beneath the chamber of the moon,
From the dark edge of a lake
Came a solitary skater.
The Earth lay still. No tawny cloud
Could mar the brightness of the stars
Nor the shaft of distant light
That shimmered from my lonely window.
Between the shoreline and the hills
Was but the silence of the snow.
Let it ease my restless soul
As I wander from the doorway.
Throughout this marble arcady,
No wolf is howling for its prey.
No fox or owl can lift the ear
From the sound of whirling circles.
And a nightingale sang ti-ra-li-ra
In a cool summer sky
When our love was true and ageless.
The skater's claimed back by the shades
Of all the pain that ever was -
Every sadness in the world
That we found on leaving Eden.
So silver mists of ancient night
Stray from an eyrie in the fells.
The woodland slumbers in their arms
Till daybreak pierces the blackest shadow.
Continuing the rock tradition of talking about awkward, intimate minutiae and nerdy obsessions via mammoth guitar lines. Bandcamp Album of the Day Sep 12, 2017
