Strange Garden
Strange garden
This ancient Eden by the freeway
The perfumed aftermath of tragedy
Sorrow sleeping in delusion
Holy canyons
They echo with fallen healers
Reflections kneeling by the rivers
Of the saints they knew as children
Mourning Roses
Pressed in dead as dreamers
Who leave their pail and castles
To the wind for her dominion
Grey over grey eves
Brown over brown leaves
Three windows with their curtains drawn
Dissolving morning into
The stasis of deception
This ancient Eden by the freeway
The perfumed aftermath of tragedy
Sorrow sleeping in delusion
Holy canyons
They echo with fallen healers
Reflections kneeling by the rivers
Of the saints they knew as children
Mourning Roses
Pressed in dead as dreamers
Who leave their pail and castles
To the wind for her dominion
Grey over grey eves
Brown over brown leaves
Three windows with their curtains drawn
Dissolving morning into
The stasis of deception
