Azure-lidded World Lyrics - Singles - Kayo Dot

Like a kiss, soft, and wild with the delicate steps of petals fallen in a stream 

This swirling ballerina turns in faint and sighing grandeur 

Across the floor to me. 

A monarch plays the violin to a summer's afternoon 

Whilst quietly the earthworm adores the soil in winter's sparkling gloom 

It breaks away, growing as the flowers do. 

A thunderhead embraces his enraptured lover 

And kisses with a gale that also makes the cattails shudder. 

His tears cannot, as he proclaims his love, be held with lightning back; 

They fondly dance into an open window 

And fondly dance with mine. 

Our eyelashes weaken with a weight that is sweet and fine, 

And this feels like frogs and spiders in the sweet outside. 

Tell me why world, unfathomable and good, 

The beauty of everything is infinite and cruel. 

An airplane, a puppet, an orange, a spoon, 

A window, and outside 

Stars and the moon.
