lyrics

Snowbound swan of lake lucern, black gypsy's cup of tea
the clockmaker turned fugitive, the daylight's refugee
blue whale of autumn's ocean, green crystal concubine
pale polynesian flower, cold, cuckold bride of father time
white wan deceitful darling , orphaned owl of Tokyo
the boat that rows the earthly moat, but needs no oars to
row your children home, show your children home
there is no need to name the moon

Beneath the roof of Medjoule's muse
whose pimps prowl flowered lanes
the jewelry is stolen, the tapestries are stained
all promises are broken
the clocks up on the walls won't ever change
though there’s a wedding in the church-house
and the wind blows softly across the fields
I keep my eyes on the horizon
I keep my consciousness concealed

Misidentified magician, misanthropic mocking bird
calliope's confession, prescient, wounded, whispered words
the wolf who fooled the farmer, the hopeful hand me down
the silver tooth of Betty Boop that two toned temptress clown
the reaper's wife, the mermaid's knife, the fisherman's balloon
above the sea eternally with nowhere else to
row your children home, show your children home
there is no need to name the moon
