about

(guitar tuning EEDF#BE)

lyrics

Long summer evenings
moths and the flowers
black dog in shadows
the silence falling on my head
and in this garden
and everything becoming one
until the insect
on my fingernail not thinking

the scent of philadelphus
hangs on the corner
the scent of philadelphus
falls timeless

darkness hides borders
leaf and vine intertwine
short life we cling to
grace fills the flowers closing up
after
the bees have come and gone
and in what dreams
to the oakleaf sweat they feed on

the scent of philadelphus
hangs on the corner
the scent of philadelphus
falls timeless

and everything is reaching
for the sun and the showers
lusting for the light
and the seeds drink in the rain
and the pollen wanders on
through the night

the scent of philadelphus
hangs on the corner
the scent of philadelphus
falls timeless
