Kayo Dot - Floodgate Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • When morning cast the stars aside
  • And the chill of night had all but died
  • As sleep removed its blanket pall
  • From the waking eyes of all
  • The poet stretched his limbs and dressed
  • And wandered out to see the blessed
  • Grove and mound, but with a sound
  • Of water that was not there before…
  • A singing stream had grown overnight
  • Centuries old, with smooth stones covered in moss
  • The path to the grove is overtaken
  • Its source bubbles up from under the earth
  • From the seed…
  • The poet drank sweet water from a cupped hands chalice
  • He was baptized at the stream by a mourning dove
  • All the loveliness in the world was in her
  • All the sadness flowed out into the forest and into thin air
  • Mist-wrapped trees, the tattered shrouds of night, as she
  • Beckoned downstream
  • Nothing but death, the ageless kiss of the queen
  • The most beautiful thing is the deathless unseen
  • No end to the miraculous waters that stream forth from the earth
  • And the stream grew into the blue royalty of a river
  • The cascades that tumble away like lives into the æther
  • Surged forth ceaseless like wasted time
  • As the moon grew fat with days
  • The river widened and wove its way
  • Deeper into the mist and the trees
  • As an unfinished rhyme, as a grief-laden breeze
