And Also The Trees - The Headless Clay Woman текст песни

The poplars stand as still as steeples
Under a million scattered stars,
From rippled earth that's cracked and sleeping
Under the frozen static stars
The headless clay woman's
Shimmering body stands,
And the frost that locks her nakedness
Melts away

Through air that's crystal black ink shadows
As sharp as the thickets' thorn and the ice,
She moves painless, slow and flowing
Across the wild and trembling path,
And the headless clay woman's
Motionless beauty shines...
Restless stars reflect in wet red streams
Across her back

Her bare feet step over the split stones,
Past the water pump and the pail,
Round and round the paint flaking empty house,
And past the glass warped window..
And the headless woman
She stands half up and half down the stairs,
She cannot see the bottom
And she cannot see the top
