lyrics

THE PEAR TREE

She hung her gown from the pear tree
And watched it swing
Above the daisies ox eyes
Like the flapping of wings
Through the blue marbled sky from her chest
And the trickling of sweat


The midday sun slants down around her through the leaves
Like a loosening embrace the colours fade
And the branches creak

The hanging gown in the pear tree
Flutters its limbs
Turns with her breath to autumn
The burning sky's a beckoning
With the song of the lark she could sing
To the summer but it left

The evening sun falls down
Around her through the leaves
Like a loosening embrace the summer wanes
And the branches creak

The hanging gown in the pear tree
Above her swings
Like earths abandoned angel
loosely flapping it's wings
With the regular rise and fall of her chest

Words S H Jones
