twilight leaves - rome lyrics

[verse 1]
came up from the ship
on marble steps under cedars
to the studded gate
the eremite won’t open
came up from the sea
heavy with weeping
out of swartest night
stretched over wretched men

[chorus]
twilight leaves full of voices
life – one lengthening day
in purple valleys
on the estuary
twilight leaves full of voices
life – one lengthening day
in purple valleys
on the estuary

[verse 2]
came out under the stars
a soul stained with recent tears
and sacred scars
cast in white stone
came up for milk and figs
ivory dipped in silver
and the red and the grey
of iron in blood
rust flour for black bread
the orchard lies untended
in chains of bone
enough of weeping
[chorus]
twilight leaves full of voices
life – one lengthening day
in purple valleys
on the estuary
twilight leaves full of voices
life – one lengthening day
in purple valleys
on the estuary
twilight leaves full of voices
life – one lengthening day
in purple valleys
on the estuary

[outro]
this tower is of resistance
of sovereign right to persistence
against all conditioned, temporal utility
this tower is of resistance
of sovereign right to persistence
against all conditioned, temporal utility
