Mockingbird Lyrics

I saw the back of the stars

Tremble and fall

While seahorses played

On the slope of your breast

I saw a hundred angels

Rush to the ground

They were giving you garlands

And giving you crowns

The flowers are everywhere

Christ glorious entwined

The tip of the moon

And the sun as it shines

And the roots as they burrow

And tunnel through earth

And the birds as they soar on their wings

I heard them whisper your name

And I remember you there

And the turtle-doves hiding

As your eyes roared with light

And I remember your smile

So wide and so red

Whilst the snowflakes covered

Your hair with their seals

And I remember our bliss

As we gazed at the wall

And I remember you there

I remember you there

With your mocking bird hair

Some years ago

We had sat down and wept

With the sea in our ears

And seven cats on our laps

Whilst the books gathered dust

Unread and untrue

And you flicked through the letters

I could not bear to read
