Half Seas Over

The New Breed
Down along the riverside, I slipped out of my skinThe night blooms and the wild weeds sighed idly on the windLaid up in the rushes and reedsHoney, are you read for the new breedThe moon wore white all through the night, though swollen up with childThe stars like milk teeth, hard and bright, parading single fileThe field and forest gone to seaThey're just making ready for the new breedRoses for the first to wake, lilies for the lastSteady eyes regarding you through the plexiglassTell us if there's anything you needThere's a place laid out here for the new breedSo I made a house of clay down along the shoreShells and stones as hard as bones, driftwood for a doorThank you all, now kindly let me beExcept to lay the gifts before the new breedDown along the riverside I slipped out of my skinThe night blooms and the wild weeds sighed idly on the windLaid up in the rushes and reedsHoney, are you ready for the new breed Aus Songtexte Mania
