Things May Come and Things May Go, But the Art School Dance Goes On Forever
Golden Country Kingdom
The hour that the forest puts the lake to bed
She rises to the surface, swims through the darkness in my head
The crate with next year's promises arrived in another town
And the leaves I can't remember are slowly turning brown...
Far from the skies
Away from her eyes
The golden country kingdom
The rose it swings and dies
By the time we all come home the predictable successes
Hope to find the courage made of last year's evening dresses
Oh the sparkle and the laughter that echoes round the tables
And the trees remember little birds they murdered in the fables...
Far from the skies
Away from her eyes
The golden country kingdom
A rose it swings and dies
When winter calls the summer liar and freezes up its feet
I can't afford her kisses, I stood in lines I can't repeat
And now the diamond wagons have reached their destination
And the piper calls the tunes back from the benches in the station
Far from the skies
Away from her eyes
The golden country kingdom
A rose it swings and dies
The smoky trails when sky men ride the slashing silver swords
And now the mangles of the bride, whitely armoured laws
Half-naked trees the last notes fall like coins on plates of grief
And to stop this sudden sorrow and to bring me quick relief
Far from the skies
Away from her eyes
The golden country kingdom
A rose it swings and dies
She rises to the surface, swims through the darkness in my head
The crate with next year's promises arrived in another town
And the leaves I can't remember are slowly turning brown...
Far from the skies
Away from her eyes
The golden country kingdom
The rose it swings and dies
By the time we all come home the predictable successes
Hope to find the courage made of last year's evening dresses
Oh the sparkle and the laughter that echoes round the tables
And the trees remember little birds they murdered in the fables...
Far from the skies
Away from her eyes
The golden country kingdom
A rose it swings and dies
When winter calls the summer liar and freezes up its feet
I can't afford her kisses, I stood in lines I can't repeat
And now the diamond wagons have reached their destination
And the piper calls the tunes back from the benches in the station
Far from the skies
Away from her eyes
The golden country kingdom
A rose it swings and dies
The smoky trails when sky men ride the slashing silver swords
And now the mangles of the bride, whitely armoured laws
Half-naked trees the last notes fall like coins on plates of grief
And to stop this sudden sorrow and to bring me quick relief
Far from the skies
Away from her eyes
The golden country kingdom
A rose it swings and dies
