Albatross

Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:

The lady comes to the gate

Dressed in lavender and leather

Looking North to the sea

She finds the weather fineShe hears the steeple bells

Ringing through the orchard all the way from town

She watches seagulls fly

Silver on the ocean stitching through the waves

The edges of the skyMany people wander up the hills from all around you

Making up your memories and thinking they have found you

They cover you with veils of wonder as if you were a bride

Young men holding violets are curious to know if you have cried

And tell you why and ask you why, either way you answerLace around the collars of the blouses of the ladies

Flowers from a Spanish friend of the family

The embroidery of your life holds you in and keeps you out

But you survive, imprisoned in your bones

Behind the isinglass windows of your eyesAnd in the night, the iron wheels rolling through the rain

Down the hills through the long grass to the sea

And in the dark, the hard bells ringing with pain

Come away aloneEven now by the gate with your long hair blowing

And the colors of the day that lie along your arms

You must barter your life to make sure you are living

And the crowd that has come, you give them the colors

And the bells and the wind and the dreamWill there never be a prince

Who rides along the sea and the mountains?

Scattering the sand and the foam into amethyst fountains

Riding up the hills from the beach in the long summer grass

Holding the sun in his hands and shattering the isinglassDay and night and day again and people come and go away forever

While the shining summer sea dances in the glass of your mirror

While you search the waves for love and your visions for a sign

The knot of tears around your throat is crystallizing into your designAnd in the night, the iron wheels rolling through the rain

Down the hills through the long grass to the sea

And in the dark, the hard bells ringing with pain

Come away alone, come away alone with me
