Lanterman's Mill
The wetlands fostered our glory
and, by God, you know well the story
But it's one that ended in ribbons
Might we say "Ooh my what lovely ribbons"?
What lovely ribbons
Known your eyes in all manner of water
A salt marsh with a hell of a fever
A search by a creek-side in darkness
Did the glasses I found you help you see me better?
See me better
We only ever lose things over night
We only ever lose things over night
And it's hard enough to lose a friend for life
And if I brought you down, down with my dancing
Then oh why did you tell me your secrets?
But I trust that at one time it didn't
Was it the bend at my ankle or the one untied shoelace?
Or the question on my face?
Or the strength of our embrace?
Or the hope we'd find one place?
We only ever lose things over night
We only ever lose things over night
And it's hard enough to lose a friend for life
We knew the truth of the matter
For a spoonful of time, it was good that we tried
Just a turn of the wheel at the mill
But I'll always remember the top of the hill
It was rose-petal tea up at the garden café
It was rose-petal tea up at the garden café
It was rose-petal tea up at the garden café
and, by God, you know well the story
But it's one that ended in ribbons
Might we say "Ooh my what lovely ribbons"?
What lovely ribbons
Known your eyes in all manner of water
A salt marsh with a hell of a fever
A search by a creek-side in darkness
Did the glasses I found you help you see me better?
See me better
We only ever lose things over night
We only ever lose things over night
And it's hard enough to lose a friend for life
And if I brought you down, down with my dancing
Then oh why did you tell me your secrets?
But I trust that at one time it didn't
Was it the bend at my ankle or the one untied shoelace?
Or the question on my face?
Or the strength of our embrace?
Or the hope we'd find one place?
We only ever lose things over night
We only ever lose things over night
And it's hard enough to lose a friend for life
We knew the truth of the matter
For a spoonful of time, it was good that we tried
Just a turn of the wheel at the mill
But I'll always remember the top of the hill
It was rose-petal tea up at the garden café
It was rose-petal tea up at the garden café
It was rose-petal tea up at the garden café
