Current 93 - Black Ships Ate the Sky

Sunset (The Death Of Thumbelina)

Four four almost finite
When I peeked inside
I did not see chalice or grail
God wasn't there
In the darkness
The curtain tearn
I already saw
Black ships ate the sky
And flying moons
Scared children
The dusk blue breaks
And the bluebottles laugh
The trees all fall and I hear collapse
But smile and nod and watch the dim sunset
Whilst the cocktails clash
Their bleak glass domes
Make shivers in my peacock eye
And I am all Thumbelina
I died for you all
And if I took the time
To take your time
And sleep this time all the way home
And watch the eggtimers bubble and wink
There's a face behind a gun
That sleeps behind the owl
The matinee is showing in town sunset
And we tumble into the cardboard sunset
Dim
Birdsong
Teethless
Sunset
The flowers smile
