Across the Divide Songtext
von And Also the Trees

Through the garden beneath her
The pools deeper
Creeping around the corners
And the wind blows high
Through the gardens beneath her
Like cool fingers
Stroking through the borders
Rustling through the vines
Inside the waves that sigh
The house is silent now
In the dawn light pearl white sand
Inside the waves that sigh

(Warm and dry, I hear the voices, warm and dry)


As the eventide reached her
And the shade grows deeper
Crabs scuttle in the sun
Their shadows long
Through the gardens beneath her
The currents turn and release their
Immaculate disorder
And the wind blows high
(Windows blown open to the sea and the waves)
The house behind her now
Shuttered up and curved like sand
Along the loose paths
And across the divide

(Don′t come down - don't sway)
