Lyrics
Rails Departing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Iron posts, hands on a dial, piercing miles of tiles
Not coarse, a rest to hold a ghost, descended with a dawn
Glistening autumn rails departing, those of winter riding in
'Tis the grime again to cover, tar, adhering matter waiting
For collapse or unchainment
'Twas matter that had paid, receipts, crumbled crossing cracks
In cursed gusts returning eyes, to sockets greased to plenty a time
A single hair afloat in breezes, connecting useless shoulder blades
Warped, entangled, bones and iron, yet never to stand as one
Bones and iron parting, unsteady limbs aligning
Senses frying on foreign tongues, these of most despicable descend
A mind returns from hell
With hands too many to bear the words
With words too many to spew the curse
With curses too many for a day
With days too many to curse
A mind turns back to hell
No more are the waves through which to be caressed,
By delicate souls, departing on autumn rails...
