(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth) There was a boy who came into this world at the hands of a holy woman in a holy place He wore a red coat and walked a bulldog-saw them reflected in the mirror of the lakes Lived in the shadow of the mountains with the smells of disinfectant, dusty […]
(music: marillion lyrics: john helmer) I’ve been feeling kind of down and loose Like a rosicrucian pope Head down deep in the womb of time Carrying a message of hope My hands steady as a hangman’s hands Surer than the hangman’s rope I could sleep for invisible years Carrying a message of hope For the […]
(music: marillion lyrics: john helmer) I was taught from the much too young To never give myself away Yes i was taught for every secret There’s a price you have to pay An accident of gender An accident of birth That holds me to this point of view This time and place on earth This […]
(music: marillion lyrics: john helmer) I wonder if my rope’s still hanging from the tree By the standing pool where you drank me And filled me full of thirsty love And the memory of water? ¡®wonder if a king still fishes there His back toward the burned out air His laughing catches singing loud The […]
