White Hinterland - Calliope lyrics

rate me

Calliope<br />

I can hear your voice<br />

As clear as a bell<br />

As a bell ringing through the night<br />

Through the night<br />

<br />

O Calliope<br />

Your tablets of wax<br />

And your golden crown<br />

So wise, so wise<br />

<br />

O Calliope<br />

I need your impartial eye<br />

To guide me<br />

My love is gone to another<br />

<br />

O Calliope<br />

Your archaic smile<br />

What lurks behind<br />

And makes your lips look alive<br />

Look alive<br />

<br />

O Calliope<br />

I fear I'm growing cold<br />

As the marble stone<br />

That you lie in<br />

That you lie in<br />

<br />

O Calliope<br />

I need your impartial eye<br />

To guide me when my love is gone<br />

He is gone, gone for good<br />

<br />

Tell him to return<br />

Tell him to return<br />

Tell him to return...<br />
