A Room Lives in Lucy





I hear voices from another morning
And in the sunlight I feel the room grow
Windows, white curtained and smooth walls
But the night leaves her on the floors
Of a mansion hall
And the feet on the floors
I must get up off the floors
Off the floors... off the floors....
In Lucy lives a room, inside
I feel someone's waking in my room again
She says she's leaving
But she will never go
Wilting while waiting in the dark leaves

She's stretching but she cannot reach
The pale flowers
Watching their petals fall
Like the rain
How it rains... how it rains...
In Lucy lives a room, inside
There are a lot of nice places we could go
There are such a lot of nice
places we could go
There are so many beautiful places
I've seen them somewhere
But where is it we go
With the crumbled statues in the dappled wood
And the gentle laughter swirls round the room
And she's gone
In Lucy lives a room

Jacob Fleet




My name is Jacob Fleet.
I feel the solid world
Revolve beneath my feet.
I stride over plains,
Through the copse
And through the glade...
I pace through the day.

And a voice tells me
'Never stop, never stay,
Don't let your shadow fade'

I scale the steeple streets,
All empty but for song
Wood-smoke and Sabbathe meat.
I pace down the lanes
If I stop my shadow fades...
I walk and I pray.

And the wind tells me
'Oh come back home again'
And the hedges began to hum
'Never stop, never stay,
Don't let your shadow fade.'

My name is Jacob Fleet
I walk the golden mist
Of Alabaster Street
My scant figure strays
Through the lost
Withe lilac lanes
Where heavens angels prey...
But I will not stop or stay,
I rage into the day.

And the wind tells me
'Oh come back home again'
And the hedges began to hum
'Never stop, never stay,
Don't let your shadow fade.'

I saw a girl standing by a pail,
I heard the tell-tale wind
In the windmill sail
