The Millpond Years Lyrics - And Also The Trees

As a voice beneath the millpond sings 

>From her past the lost June days are woken 

And wind across the gorse slopes call 

Through years, where the darkness roars 

Until with wirl-pool panic heart she looks 

Out of the looking-glass 

And sees her standing by her side 

Closes her soft grey eyes 

Blurred hurried bliss 

And the smell of space 

Vanish through fires 

Oh save me from the softness of your skin 

I can see you in the millpond years 

Quietly singing 

And her voice across the millpond sings 

Slow falling days and afternoons 

Watching each other in the quiet looking-glass 

While the geese ripple above the moors 

The leaves turned an vanished with the storms 

Falling through each others eyes 

This tortured paradise 

Her emerald dress 

And the ivory sheets 

Like delicate muscles 

Sleep-walking through shapes that razor blind 

But I can still see you in the millpond years 

Quietly singing 

I can see you there
