Paragraph Lyric
[From the CD of Sides, also b-side of Um & Arrgh]There was once a man he metWho walked in fields of silk and burr, so lightAnd then the darkness came upon meI woke, I could not see her faceHer voice across dark waters stolePlease turn on the light, it's growing coldShe was once my lady friendI loved her countless times before, so lightThen the darkness crept upon herI woke, I could not hear her voiceShe left no sign or souvenirPlease turn on the light, it's cold in hereSomething tells me we burned out all our boatsSetting sail upon storm-ridden seaAnd putting faith in the gods of ancient timesI had believed we could be strong and supineShe was like a breath of light ohShe fell like the chesnut leaf[John Hackett flute solo]So the moons rise slowly nowIn swirling mists I dimly see God leaveTrapped in calm, left her no darknessStill as then, I cannot see her faceHer voice is still accosting mePlease turn out the lights, the last to leave
