Seven Sisters

[Verse 1]

He made the world a grassy road

Before our bare, wandering feet

(He made the world a grassy road)

(Before our bare, wandering feet)

Then crushed the stones into the softest sand between our toes

(Then crushed the stones into the softest sand between our toes)

But we're wondering where to sleep, oh, but clever words

On pages turn to fragments, circles, points and lines

And they cover them like carpets

With graceful, meaningless, ornamental designs

[Chorus]

Come quick, you light that knows no evening

Come, alone to the alone

I have a thousand half-loves well worth leaving

For to take your madness home

And you dance inside my chest where no one sees you

But sometimes I see you

(Come quick, you light that knows no evening)

(Come, alone to the alone)

(There's a thousand half-loves well worth leaving)

(For to take your madness home)

(And you dance inside my chest)

(Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera)

[Verse 2]

Oh, rejoice, the cleansing of my lips

Rejoice, salvation of my soul

I still have a thousand half-loves

Oh my God I want to shoot myself just thinking about it

And you think I don't mean what I say?

Well, I mean every word I say

I threw a small stone down

At the reflection of my image in the water

(I threw the stones down)

(At the reflection of my image in the water)

And it altogether disappeared

I burst as it shattered through me like a bullet through a bottle

And I'm expected to believe that any of this is real
