Elderberry and lavender
Yet in full bloom when we first met
In your eyes such a blossom
Oh this beauty I'll never forget
Sepia-coloured memories nailed
Like butterflies in a neatly row
And yet preserved for the sweet day
When I hear them crying
Help me! Free me!
You left me, sweet, two legacies
A legacy of love
A heavenly father would content
You left me boundaries of pain
Capacious as the sea
Between eternity and time
Your consciousness and me
On and on, love and sorrow
Like a laurel crown on your head
Have you seen that little photograph
On the wall that detains the sunset?
Sepia-coloured memories nailed
Like butterflies in a neatly row
And yet preserved for the sweet day
When I hear them crying
Help me! Free me!
You left me two legacies
A heavenly father would content, had he the offer of
(A legacy, a legacy of love)
You left me
Boundaries of pain, Capacious as the sea
(He would content, had he the offer of)
( Eternity and time, your consciousness and me)
Your consciousness and me, and me
Sepia-coloured memories nailed
Like butterflies in a neatly row
And yet preserved for the sweet day
When I hear them crying
Sepia-coloured memories nailed
Like butterflies in a neatly row
And yet preserved for the sweet day
When I hear them crying
Help me! Free me!
