THE NORTHERN WIND

The first sleep haunted by the northern wind
The shining statues of the past had all turned to green
Stones and skulls talking ghost marks
I've gathered handfuls of feathers from the open graves
That bluster blew it all away far into the bay
It's always true beauty leaves first
Before the next one I'll recall all of her traits
to have a chance to meet her there

Just let it down, drop this sour tear
Will you ever turn out the pale light prawling in your nights with sorrow
Every single whisper draw you away from the wonders
and from the child inside who keeps walking on the brink of tomorrows
His stories sound like gold and with the fiery nightingale
He says love can never die, love can never die
Sometimes the sun rises so slowly
but life will sing again on the mulberry tree
We'll meet again, meet again someday
Tenderness in the upper rains, in the upper rains

It's been cloudy for two months
Now the grey lights rise I can hear my father's car
Suddenly that ray springs out
and floods the room like love at first sight
Was that real? was that you across the street last night?
head up to the sky

Up in the dead tree, bitter and tired, I saw a bud with my own eyes
While the faun and the colors were gathering around, I ate the fruit that just came out
When I wake up I go outside and tell the world how good it taste
