Clemency Songtext
von Laura Gibson

So
It goes my sparrowhawk
The air became a darker shade
Of ominous

No
Joke, no genuflect
You spoke no regret
When your body spoke
It spoke of death

Oh
You can′t slow the fading light
No
The question on your mind
The question always on your mind
Was on mine

Like
A scythe in rising moon
Another field blooms
Your spirit still


So
A poem on wire and light
Of grass is green yonder
Of a hinge on which your whole life turns

Oh
You can't slow the fading light
No
The question on your mind
The question always on your mind
Was on mine

You are all I know, my winter
You, my grey jay
You, my snowchild

Oh
You can′t slow the fadin' light
Oh
You can't slow the rake of time
The question on your mind
Was the question on my mind

So
It goes, my crow, my rook
Hope can be a hook
Time might love you back
