Paroles Hazel Forks de Alasdair Roberts

Textes et Paroles de Hazel Forks

Because my face betrayed a smileBecause my smile betrayed my loveI went down to the hazel groveAnd we'll all go down togetherThe hazel forked three ways in my handThree ways in my bloodThree ways in my mindFirst became a flock of cranesThey danced away in a Troy-Town mazeTheir shrieking frames made a chill refrainAnd they made a name unknown to manI will now reveal the name they made:The asphodel and the lily redThe daffodil has lost its headA bloom of dread, a bloom of dreadThe newlywed and the nearly deadAnd they'll all go down togetherNext one frowned and he went downThen gave a laugh and forked up the pathAnd flew away foreverNext one cowered and drew awayThen sprung back into my faceBecause my face betrayed a smileBecause my smile betrayed some loveI had to go down to the hazel groveNow we'll all go down togetherOnly one more task to tackleBefore we reach the final battleLoose the Earl o' Hell's belt-buckleCrumple down his trousersHere's the gifts of the infant suitorA cask of ash and a flask of pewterA map of the city of the futureAnd a clutch of empty browsersHere's the dowry of the leperA walnut shell and a peck of pepperAnd an alder spray to carve a quiverFor a gang of hazel dowsersThey dowsed themselves into a tangleCalled themselves a hazel bushThey snarled so sweet and incompleteThat they stole the heart of a little song thrush
