Kayo Dot - The Second Operation (Lunar Water) Lyrics
Flowers bloom at night and throw off phantom darts of lightLiving little opal stars and little phantom shimmersA shadow with a watering can crept in to tend the gardenThe soundless shade made its way as crickets all aroundChose their nighttime music and made their nighttime soundWithin the grove the shadow flowed and knelt before the mossShadow water sprinkled on the earthy forest bedThe thinnest grin above the treesA secret jokeA sliver peeking in through a starry doorShadow water sprinkled soundless on the mossy forest floorWater drawn from a well, secluded on a hillIn the summer of the poet’s youthBefore he learned the poet’s truthThat life will never yield to WillThat life will never yield to WillAnd that watering can held tightly in ghostly hand!Where is it from, where has it been?The shed by the house of the sleeping poet!It sits there still on its shelf!And he dreams in his bed as the moon overheadSheds light from a silver crescentHe dreams of the grove and the mound and the seedIt was watered that night with the water of need
