The light is leaving us all
West street-the shutters shut dark
The flowers flow and sing in the drift
The light is leaving us all
And in the night the cuckoos call
To the light that is leaving us all
Far away the red barn burns
Oh rose, you are dead
And around you
The storm kicks her heels
And sucks
The light which is leaving us now
And I hear the steps in the night
And I catch the beats of my heart
And the lantern is blinding
And bright burn the wedges in our eyes
And the light is leaving us all
On long lane where we fall
Into the causeway
I heard the stars split open
By the post, by the moon, by the chapel
Call the surgeon
The surgeon is dead
Call the policeman
The policeman is dead
And the moon is drunk
And the nightnurse is sick
And the murderer's dead
The assembly is killing time
And the clock has slowed to sugar
By the way–have you heard?
The light is leaving us all
So may I recall you
The light is leaving you now
Sly days sleep and fly
Little villages drop down
And sleep dull dreams full of milk
Till you open up the curtains
And observe and obey
She opens up her eyes
And she knows your name
The light is leaving us all
We are marked and we are named
Beyond the barn
Where the young girl stumbles and falls
Between her toes the flowers grow
And on her eyes the flowers die
And from her womb
The light is leaving her child
And Gunshot and knife
And choke her neck
And bury her in dead tree
Or fall her to the floor
The light is leaving her all
Always and utterly
In the mud her prints are ghost
And the candle burns in the floor
Oh badness–sing on!
The light is leaving us all
Over in the sun the eyesparks trip
And by the sea shore the children skip
Watch the ice cream watch the maiden
Watch the killer strong
And please read the first book
And consider the fall
The light is leaving us all

歌詞解析
一句話主旨
光暈消逝象徵希望崩解，世界陷入秩序與倫理的混沌狀態。
主題
描繪一個社會秩序崩壞、權威崩塌的末日氛圍，並探討個人在無序中面對虛無的掙扎與無力感。
情緒
壓抑、迷惘與絕望，夾雜著對現實崩壞的疏離觀察與隱隱的焦慮。
意象與手法
以「光」隱喻希望或真理，反覆出現的「死亡」象徵制度與道德的崩解，自然意象如「暴風」、「月光」與「花朵」形成詩意對比，強化虛無感。
重點句解讀
1. "Call the policeman / The policeman is dead"
指涉權威與秩序的喪失，當社會陷入混亂時，最基礎的保護機制已失效，暗示系統性崩壞。
2. "The moon is drunk / And the nightnurse is sick"
以異常自然現象隱喻世界邏輯的扭曲，月光與護士的「病態」象徵理性與照護機制的失效。
3. "The light is leaving her all / Always and utterly"
個人被光暈遺棄的絕望，強調無可逆轉的虛無感，暗示生命與希望的徹底消逝。
適合情境
適合在反思社會現狀、面對個人困境或沉浸於詩意末日氛圍時聆聽，提供情感共鳴與哲思空間。
