Current 93 - Mourned Winter Then lyrics

rate me

Mourned winter then

In the middle of harsh day

I saw the moon her

Beaming as the queen

Shook out her broken dawn

And kissed them tenderly.

Shook down from her many stars

Drifting seeds to sleep sowing

Fields of spring clover dreaming of

A night bursting with milk and signs

Of coded silent planets, ices and suns

Touched her fingers to her heart

And smiled, “I am in you always”

The pulse in your blood the fire

In your salt the flame in your ghem

Like the night then dull of all

Utter love, uttered spring

From the sleepless seas soaring

Over muddy towers grey graves

The hope light in your eyes

Moved open the spheres and spelled “summer dust”

Heard that that jeweled night still open a thousand stars

Held your body like the wind

And felt the shudder of your mouth sing...

Resurrect me in your stillness

With wing hearts from the sunflower

Towering over the diurnal leaves

Brush your kind face

With doves and starlings

Sweep down like bells on your kiss

If we count the cost of all we stole

From perfect earth and transcendent stars

Fog and forget me not

Goddess awake in trees and seafoam like by the shells

And soaring gulls in

The beauty set in a hollow

World split words and flies in the...

Shall never forget that love

That first sang of stars and

First sealed jars of lamb light

Planted grieves of sparrow

The buzz of night under the sunny skull of mercy

Which breathed out your history

Before your eyes awoke to

“No proofs” or “proofs””

“Letters” or “no letters”

In the dead hand of dead papers

Which have long since left the central

Dance and in dull dull trance

Squealing I ate the feast and

Then I’m the best

And slid into the bloodstreams like a swamp

Nude to the word and the world

Naked to the ethereal city’s sweep

And ate our home and throne

.. spheres we are free in

The night twined with vines

And sun babies we are free

In the day lined with tiny moons

I awoke and stared at the sun

Falling into the mouth of those moons

Squeaking of another world and other waves

Fox and vixen in the sunlit night inside

The moonlight place and with us bird song

Smiled the bubble and .. away

Spark flying out of the beaks souring above

The stunned city brunched blindly under massed stars

Over the chalk hill driven on

By angelic yells.
