A Pavane for Georgie ft. Sammy Jackson Lyrics

Let me step courtly

Wrap you in sable-lined tunes

We'll dance until music

Runs out of blue moons

And Ill love you till gold

It kneads into bread

And all the world's hungry

Are rose-rich and well-fed

Let me kiss your eyes softly

As softly as down

I'll love you till cops

They decline to crack crowns

I'll love you till downpours

Decline to be wet

Till coppery bedframes

Verdigris from our sweat

Let me lie down beside you

In paradise lost,

I'll love you till tongues

Yes, till tongues

Are no longer word-glossed

I'll love you till sidewalks

Cement to abstraction

And great Buddhist masters

Succumb to distraction

I love you as I

Conjugate into you

And we age an ink

Distilled from times true

And Ill love you till Poetry

Loses its troubadour Clarke

And Beauty slips into mourning

And stars pulse to dark
