I Saw Ashes Where You Once Lay
you said:
"lover, take me over there
by the window
where a goldfinch sings
in the vine, that gave us shade on summer days
and wine to drink when winter came.
lo! it sings!"
stop the clocks!
no time is needed now.
let the bells call for my love.
stop the sun!
stop the sun in its o.r.b.i.t.
let the bells call for my love.
i said:
"if you must go,
i won't stand in your way.
i see your time has come."
yesterday i saw ashes where you once lay.
in our bed.
stop the clocks!
no time is needed now.
let the bells call for my love.
stop the sun!
stop the sun in its o.r.b.i.t.
let the bells call for my love.
(just before you left,
you said the strangest thing:
"i know my body is covered with flies,
but this bird must be sent from paradise")
"lover, take me over there
