Porcelain Songtext
a darker garden this though pale with beauty

in the louring of the rain

how I long to break the silence

where the moths & tigers play


driving through the forest in the empty afternoon

a Japanese car stalled inside a glade

but the world is porcelain

yes, the world is porcelain



& the quiet nights with the friend who could not stay

left the future all sundazed



Alice Jude & Laura singing

all our friends have come to stay
they are laughing in the sunlight

where the criss-cross fountains play



sunlight on the empty house & sunlight on the fields

the cul-de-sac, the lawn, the tracks, the lane

but the world is porcelain

yes, the world is porcelain



still the evening will not come here

& the stones are cracked & warm

& the pool is filled with sunlight

still the evening will not come
