lyrics

ILL OMEN

It’s June and I see the woods
The quiet pools
The glades and blue hollows
I saw the woods were would with sorrow
So don’t stop clatter on
But it says ‘come on come on’
As doors swing open into lazy gardens
‘Come on come on
This is love don’t go on’
And I see the perfect wife
I can almost smell her apple breath
And her milky dress
She says ‘Come on come on’
This is love don’t go on’

I swoon past the pearly rooms
In staggered roofs
He waits for tomorrow
I saw his lips were mouthing ‘Follow
This is love don’t go on’
But I scream ‘Come on come on’
My iron horse my train my ghost companion
Come on come on my iron horse clatter on
And I feel its heart unwind
And pull me to its gleaming breast
Its black flesh
It says come on come on
Never stop clatter on.

The iron horse pumps its steam screaming whistle.

Words - S H Jones
