[00:07.19]The light is leaving us all
[00:14.44]West street-the shutters shut dark
[00:22.26]The flowers flow and sing in the drift
[00:29.59]The light is leaving us all
[00:36.58]And in the night the cuckoos call
[00:40.37]To the light that is leaving us all
[00:44.92]Far away the red barn burns
[00:50.28]Oh rose, you are dead
[00:53.24]And around you
[00:55.19]The storm kicks her heels
[00:58.07]And sucks
[00:58.98]The light which is leaving us now
[01:06.00]And I hear the steps in the night
[01:13.31]And I catch the beats of my heart
[01:28.17]And the lantern is blinding
[01:31.34]And bright burn the wedges in our eyes
[01:36.70]And the light is leaving us all
[01:41.96]On long lane where we fall
[01:45.45]Into the causeway
[01:48.50]I heard the stars split open
[01:53.04]By the post, by the moon, by the chapel
[01:58.53]Call the surgeon
[02:02.13]The surgeon is dead
[02:03.97]Call the policeman
[02:06.21]The policeman is dead
[02:08.55]And the moon is drunk
[02:11.62]And the nightnurse is sick
[02:16.10]And the murderer's dead
[02:19.03]The assembly is killing time
[02:23.39]And the clock has slowed to sugar
[02:26.54]By the way–have you heard?
[02:31.34]The light is leaving us all
[02:35.37]So may I recall you
[02:38.76]The light is leaving you now
[02:42.99]Sly days sleep and fly
[02:48.79]Little villages drop down
[02:51.88]And sleep dull dreams full of milk
[03:03.23]Till you open up the curtains
[03:07.00]And observe and obey
[03:10.50]She opens up her eyes
[03:13.09]And she knows your name
[03:16.57]The light is leaving us all
[03:20.42]We are marked and we are named
[03:24.38]Beyond the barn
[03:26.15]Where the young girl stumbles and falls
[03:31.97]Between her toes the flowers grow
[03:35.17]And on her eyes the flowers die
[03:39.02]And from her womb
[03:41.22]The light is leaving her child
[03:46.73]And Gunshot and knife
[03:50.53]And choke her neck
[03:52.94]And bury her in dead tree
[03:54.99]Or fall her to the floor
[03:58.97]The light is leaving her all
[04:03.15]Always and utterly
[04:06.29]In the mud her prints are ghost
[04:08.95]And the candle burns in the floor
[04:13.01]Oh badness–sing on!
[04:16.30]The light is leaving us all
[04:23.95]Over in the sun the eyesparks trip
[04:27.73]And by the sea shore the children skip
[04:38.28]Watch the ice cream watch the maiden
[04:41.77]Watch the killer strong
[04:44.56]And please read the first book
[04:47.03]And consider the fall
[04:48.51]The light is leaving us all
