mantlepiece

let all the time go
to the man in the tower on high
there is no hope in loving and
no hope arising to the blue sky
but if you know
then it comes from the
clock on the mantlepiece

why do the children laugh
when the world is in trouble and pain
oh if memory's a curse then why live it all again

and it ends
but in the time of the rainbow's sigh
will we all meet
and tremble at the
flower pinned to your ear


fly fly fly
over
time

measuring cups of grain
follow the road that leads to me again
purchase the man in the silver scarf
make sure that he delivers the heart
to the
scuff-mark at your door.
