lyrics

You came in my window
You midnight accost
You rattled and rumbled, roared
“One day you’ll lose her”
It shook from my lungs a bubble of purest sorrow
And up! went my dreams, up and were lost!

You filled up my ears with your molasses
Paraffin, saltpeter and phoenix’s ashes
And a match struck out one -
One struck to my cost
And up! went my dreams, up and were lost!

At two I awoke
Eyes wide as the river
Everything jewelled in an icicle sliver
And I saw you there, lying sleeping and still
And I closed the window to take off the chill
Our warmth turned to steam the last of the frost
And up! went my fears, up and were lost!
