lyrics

Paper crowns the boy and scarlet were the nails
waffles feed the mouths, the carnival is stale
willow hands are bent into a fence

The trampoline in snow, the garden shed is cold
go and get the coal and rosemary for the stew
lumpen heads will warm upon the hearth

Winter swimming, star singing
chalking up the door to protect us from the storm

Boats sinking and I’m thinking
what would Dylan do or what would Bowie do?

But I can’t think much like that
none of us are tall, no none of us at all

In the abstract, a call back
crawling up the walls and the ringing of the bell

And the waiting for next summer
with what reason at my window-sill

Bruegal was a boy in 1535
I was a lad in 1984
Make of that what you will.
