Elegy For Elsabet Lyrics

Elegy For Elsabet lyrics

So the fields are stubble,
the garden is done where the scary scarecrow
stands
and sees her holding up horizons with her hands.
She's so tired of
reading Daddy's lips - -that essay on a frown.
Watch her memories of human
voices drown.
Let horsey bray break between the thunder boom.
Make
grasses' swish meet the cricket's ring.
Let every sound consecrate our
whispering words that Betta never heard.
The backlanes tie the city down; a
mess of dirty string.
Winter dies the same way every spring.
As the
skytries on its uniform of turned off t.v. grey,
and the way we watched her
watch us walks away,
let every rain clatter down at groaning
streets.
Make footsteps tick, talk to echoed walls.
Let every sound
consecrate our whispering the words that Betta never heard.
Let every wind
howl and creak the creaking doors
to rooms that too much has happened
in.
Let every sound consecrate our whispering the words that Betta never
heard.
