lyrics

Human Love

Did you see the autumn trees against the pale blue sky?
Like two lover’s ashen limbs like two burning signs
Stripped of every pretense in the trembling air
Did you see the autumn trees fragile beyond repair?


Did you see the man and woman under the sky above?
Leaning into one another to whisper words of love
Forever to be bound they say one heart one mind one breath
And then to look the other way and fall down on the cold hard cement 


Oh human love you are so frail
Oh human love so changeable
You are a thief and a liar
Oh human love you are the fire and the water


Did you see the poppy sway in later summer bloom?
The fields of iris and of wheat the brightness of high noon
The opulence the ocean spray the fullness of the foam
Turn to ashes twisted limbs decay and broken bones

Oh Spartan trees in red and gold let the dark season come
Dressed in a thousand shades of grey her monuments of stone
Oh did you see her standing there broken and aloof
Her pale face mysterious air a church without a roof
