Kayo Dot - And He Built Him A Boat Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Out of the west the evening-colored air
  • Made a music box out of the treetops
  • A wind harp out of the stars
  • Velvet waters tumble out from the fountainhead of
  • Inspiration and played the rushes
  • Wordless song on the river sighing
  • Forgotten the pipes and the flutes of the dying
  • The air is alive with the stirrings and turnings
  • Of phrase in the twilight like petals flying
  • Into the waters and dreamily floating
  • The poet felled him a tree
  • He felled him a fir and was shriven
  • He drew from pine his boat
  • Simple, imperfect, with evergreen dressing the air
  • He fashioned boards from his longing, and
  • Sacrificed food and rest for ever
  • He forgot himself
  • Distaste in this thing surrounding him
  • Decay
  • The poet amidst the musical waters
  • Became the song and what he had
  • Dreamt of being all along
