lyrics

The Fields of Rye

Mountains ‘fore dawn, blackbirds whistling
Shallow creeks streaming to the shore
The fading stars, oh he’d missed ‘em
And missed the silence even more

Octopus minds, itchy trigger fingers
A sylvan canvas all painted black
A king with no land and no wisdom
‘One day’, he promised, ‘I’ll get back’

Going down, down with the river
Down, down the slipstream of time
Down, down with the river
Down in the fields of rye

A bed of thistles, thyme and shrubbery
The weary moonlight sickening with shade
Lotus blossom, dead opossum,
Marble clouds and clay
Red blood dripping from a scarlet blade

Etched in the gold embrace of dawnlight
An earth that gives and takes again
And one is all and all is starlight
All save the barren fields of man

Below vermillion skies eternal
A drowning sibilance in black
Only the wind a vagrant warden
Wafts with a promise long dead

Going down, down with the river
Down, down the slipstream of time
Down, down with the river
Down in the fields of rye
