lyrics

Queen Anne and the Carouser

A tawny cheek to match her tawny face!
Affairs of summer and the summer's end.
Her supple fingers thumb the vial.
"Darling, can you speak?"

Wit was paired against his guiles,
Youth was in his awkward beard,
the deck of cards spills from his pockets.
Day is dying down.

La la la...

Through the rain, his ghost is coughing
Through the strangles of the mist.
Queen Anne stands atop her lover
Anne, the doubly blessed.

Purpling lips with olive hemlock,
trembling without understanding
his silly neck is ringed with shadow --
A softly feathered bluejays' throat.

Where the clover swarms the oak,
Where the ground is sometimes damp,
a humble mound, the finest lilly
wastes upon its stalk.

La la la...

Through the rain, his ghost is coughing
Through the strangles of the mist.
Queen Anne stands atop her lover
Anne, the doubly blessed.

Queen Anne stands. Queen Anne stands.
Queen Anne, the doubly blessed.

Where the clover swarms the oak,
Where the ground is sometimes damp,
a humble mound, the finest lilly
wastes upon its stalk.
