Wayfarer lyrics

Artist  : Kayo Dot 
Song : Wayfarer
 

Sing to me a romance, sire

That splendid
trod the starry roads.

All ye dust-strewn
travellers, hasten

To the hearthside!

What seest thou, wayfarer,

Upon thy
journey to a citrine sun?



Caves of
candlelight with amethyst imbued,

Opal
skulls of opal creatures decorating tombs!

Woods of columned water supporting ceilings
breathing blue,

Seascapes fill'd with
poison, lonely, waiting for the few

Final
scarlet denizens to march into the scorching
fumes!



Stalks of lapis lazuli
groaning against a tired breeze,

Sparkling
in the quaint moonlight, and owls' eyes in
sapphire trees,

Hooting to one year of
moons that hang on petals in the air!

Growing ghosts in silver pots upon a silent
windowsill,

Built into the side of nothing
built into a nothing hill!



A cage
that housed a nightingale was hung upon a
shepherd's crook;

He lightly stepp'd across
the tide, his statuary effervescing.

Boughs
dipped their lovely heads into the lake of
one-thousand tiers

To admire an Absinthe
floodgate, and a piquant gallery.



Morning, and the dreamers fade

Like
lovers' gazes past their hour.

Cannot
sunrise wait forever

For its time?



Farewell, starry wayfarer,

I'll
bless your name when I dream of you.
