We shared the experience of being alive And then we took some tea We finished up and all on a whim We talked as it was free
When we went to get the bill The lady looked us over She told us, 'now you stay quite still And I'll fetch in some clover'
And all of the yellow melancholy The world about grew stark The only sound in all of the place Was the singing of a lark
It sang Holly go lightly bright as the day Fresh as the moon and stale as the hay Cold as the window frozen with frost You never been seen and you never been lost
And lost I was for all of the time We never shared thereafter Closing my books and shoeing my feet The air blew in much darker
Floor boards they've been laughing at me The folds of my skin are frayed I'm the oldest man I know by now I was the youngest yesterday
What did I lose to mourn so long A worm in the heart has tamed me Laying to rest in a ventricle Stirs when I take my tea
Holly go lightly bright as the day Fresh as the moon and stale as the hay Cold as the window frozen with frost You never been seen and you never been lost
I saw her once and she came upon the midday And gave me both her hands It seemed while I was still dreaming of the waves That she lived a while on land
Slipping through a stream of dark The streets laid out a way Stayed above the level Kept my wandering heart at bay
In the sage strands a feeling in the landlord's daily dealing There's a turn of a twisting smile Cheap is your time when our tea don't taste so fine How are you, it's been a while
Holly go lightly bright as the day Fresh as the moon and stale as the hay Cold as the window frozen with frost You never been seen and you never been lost
Holly go lightly bright as the day Cold as the moon and stale as the hay Fresh as the window frozen with frost You never been seen and you never been lostTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
