Crown of the Lost

The night settles down on the water

The feathers of sun gather in

The trees wave their way to the morning

The birds think about what they'll sing

I have dreams in which you're a nightmare

I have dreams in which you're unfair

But angels still dance in your garden

And flowers still grow in your hair

My tears leave a scar on the pillow

My tooth leaves my blood on the sheet

My heart sways the way of the willow

My heart sways the way of the wheat

But you are the queen of the lowlands

You have the crown of the lost

I find you broke up like a shipwreck

I find you broke up on the rocks

The horses come in from the cliff tops

Their shadows upsetting the sea

The waves swim their way to the bottom

And stay there until they're forgotten

And you know about birds when they're dying

How they know that they're going to die

How they hide in the heart of the forest

And sleep until death chances by

You know that, you know that
