- Year of Release:2021
Lyrics
A woman's beauty is like a white
Frail bird, like a white sea-bird alone
At daybreak, after stormy night
Between two furrows upon the ploughed land
A sudden storm and it was thrown
Between dark furrows on the ploughed land
Between dark furrows on the ploughed land
How many centuries spent
The sedentary soul
In toils of measurement
Beyond eagle or mole
Beyond hearing or seeing
Or Archimedes' guess
To raise into being
That loveliness?
A strange, unserviceable thing
A fragile, exquisite, pale shell
To the vast troubled waters bring
To the loud sands before day has broken
The storm arose and suddenly fell
Amid the dark before day had broken
What death? What discipline?
Bonds no man could unbind
Being imagined within
The labyrinth of the mind
What pursuing or fleeing
What wounds, what bloody press
Dragged into being
This loveliness?
