The Dreaming Pool Lyrics

In her quiet voice she said "I'm going swimming

In the dreaming pool

Blue sand slowly trickled in the hourglass

And I turned it over and turned my mind back

To the day we met

The day I lost a bet

Not that I regret

There's nothing to regret

Just one thing I'd rather forget

Forgetful skies fall heavy on the plain

Where the angels were

If you see them on the road

Don't forget to wave and smile

As they pass by

The barren miles to

The diamond mine

The place you want to forget

But it's always there in your head

A remembrance of the dead

Poisonous and heavy as lead

So different from all that she said

She loved to swim in the midnight lonely

Silver and black when the moon was high

Forget the war and the thoughts that wound

And lose herself to the waves eternal

Water flowing through your limbs

Sweet ocean's daughter

A place where you can forget

All the faces full of dread

The corpses on the bed

The toxic rivers of red

Where the demons fled

From the angels they tried to wed

From the trees blackened and dead

And the words you left unsaid
