Paragraph Lyric
[From the CD of Wise After The Event, also b-side of We're All As We Lie]Out at nightI saw a squirrel lying in a ditch beneath a great elm treeGrey and weakHis tiny eyes revealed the secret of this vigil strange and freeHour after hour he pursuedWeaker and weaker you grewSquirrel, friendI see you lying and there's nothing I can do to bring you backGrey and weakYour tiny eyes don't understand the strangeness of this pain you feelAll through the night you will lieEach moment death's hour draws nighSilentlyYour hooded brothers lay you down to sleep forever into timePeace, at lastHas come upon you as a Mother's fading whispers to her childHour after hour I pursuedThough you are gone I will still remember you
