wickerbird - the candle jar lyrics

Loading...

we gave her
we sailed her out
the breakers
where the waters
keep her now

the pyre
alights her gown
the briar sighed
as the ocean
washed her down

the snipe and boar
laid stones on the shore
while the warblers
cried and mourned
till the cairn was formed

then wine was poured
the pines sang of yore
and the night woods
whisper for
her evermore

all my fingers rue
the day that you
holly, heather and
their brothers too
bared your b+st+rd grins
and carried through
alabaster skin i never knew
her father
sauntered from town
and faltered
as we heard him say
aloud

o daughter
i’ll lay your crown
an offering
for the valley and the mount

your sylvan wreath
i’ll cast for the trees
and your azure robes beneath
they are for the seas

the winds will seethe
your name ‘pon their t++th
and the waterfalls will weep
to have been bereaved

and+

every winter moon
shall wane for you
feathers in your hair
where haybirds flew
bare your nassau grin
and carry through
follow mountain winds+ they’re speaking sooth
