Pines Meadows Of Dawn Lyrics

Meadows of Dawn

I’ll put out the eyes of the moon tonight
There’s nothing I want to be seen tonight
I’m dreaming in seven, up at the heavens
And I doubt if the scriptures will hold tonight

The counter-intelligence was wrong tonight
More has been lost here than songs tonight
Oh the heart is a cage, in this perilous age
And I’m quite sure the lantern’s will dim tonight

And it’s bad enough if your arm is cut off
But it’s worse to be lured by the diamond
And it’s thunderous doubt when time has run out
We will meet in the meadows of dawn

In bell towers voices will call tonight Ghosts of Little Earth they dance on tonight
And I fumble with prayers empty as stares
That the stars give softly to me tonight

Six years it isn’t no great long time
To be haunted and hassled and bothered by time
Oh my faith is obscured by the sad news I heard
Of the punishment you have endured at times

And it’s known through the land
Not to question the man
But it’s worse to be stifled by a flower
And the polling has closed, and we all stand exposed
Shivering in the meadows of dawn
