Cordelia's Song

In the palaces of promises
She built to house you in
Through floods of years the wind will steer
And bring them their ruin
And when beginning anew
Then what is left for you
With once it's over and done
Then what shall we do

The lamppost waits it's breath it baits
By cafes so bright they blind
From my rooftop to my garden where
I leave my mind behind
From streets that weep that they new
As they sleep all afternoon
But will never speak
Till they receive all that's due

And the rings she wears as she brings her wares
And runs them around you
And give free gifts of idle wish
'Cept these to say what's true
It's easy it's true
And I'd lose it all for you
And when the last is sold
You'll still find a few

On Cordelia's tomb great flowers bloom
And tightly weave their way
They forge a lock like Gordian knots
Till time rusts them away
But still, it carries on through
And I'd tell you if I knew
For will time
Remember me and you
