When you came to town I fell for you it seems
to a house with twisted branches
and a candle dream
I'll be your Alabaster Queen
Your Alabaster Queen

When I hear you play
I think of water and sunshine

I spent the summer breathing in the scent of your arms again
But I was not your woman those times
I was merely a lost, lonesome concubine, my friend

So long, my love, so long, my love
I’ve forgotten your, your, your animated smile
And bitter bile and your wanted child
Your hieroglyphic code and summer odes to the sea

Baby I will leave you in the morning
sunny day i won't know what to say
ray of sun and days of running stage lights
I don't really know another way

Baby you will need to set me free
Baby you will need to set me free

Baby, I will leave you in the morning
Sinner day I don’t know what to say
.. days around and stage lights
I don’t really know another way.

Baby you need to set me free.
Baby you need to set me free.

Tomorrow I’m gonna leave a bird on your grave
And say a little prayer for you

Kyle says you’ve been dead for a couple of months
And I’ve been thinking your still here my friend
And I still have your songs in my head
And your face engraved into the glass of me

If I call your name at midnight
oh, you would not be there
If I call your name at midnight
oh, you would not be there.

You said my name so sweetly,
oh the one time that you called
oh you said my name so sweetly

Take her to the river
Call her a river-child
Take her to the forest
Call her a little wild
Sell her to the gypsy
For a jar of metal coins
Take her to the mountain
And thrust yourself

Photographs of your face, against the wind, against the rain. I'm gonna burn them all and bury your name.

All your damsels in the dark and seashell branches in the park I'm gonna burn them all and bury your name.

Photographs of your face, against the wind, against the rain. I'm gonna burn them all and bury your name.

She knew you in the time,
she was young and yearned to die.
She'd gaze at the light
in the corner in the night.

And the men would come to her
in the dead of old winter.
In the doldrums it was fine

So do you know I'm a dancer now?
With red painted lips, and a Jezebel crown?
So have you heard I'm a singer now?
With reliquary eyes, and a diadem frown?

But I look for you,
In the diamond trees,
In a highway divine,

Red is the color of memory
Blue is the way to green
And darling you did gamble
‘cause you were a dying breed
Yes you were a dying breed

Yellow the color of your skin
Black was the color of your hair

Feathered failures on my knees
I broke my back from missing thee
I turned to brittle barren worlds
I hear you’re living with the girl
Sara Sara eyes of blue
Sara Sara in love you
She knows you had a woman fine
With eyes as deep as brandy wine

And I say to the day
Why'd you drop down to die
With fifty five falls
And seventy skies?
And I say to the day
Why this ballad of brine?
With Mayflower May and here monocle'd eye

Winter was an island, child
Some of the friends
You had been gone a while
It's a dark twisted line across
You sear into the wild

People are looking down you say
You can feel the beat of yesterday

Every night without a light or brightly shining love,
silver trees and darkened leaves dot the sky above.
As the yellow moon to the darkest night,
it turns to a raging fire,
the road it thins and the darkness spins
to the voices in the choir.

I dream of horses and their kin,

In a magazine
I saw you breaking down
I saw you breaking down
and I recognized your face
you looked like someone I used to know

my hands are tied
and the rain falls

Driving to your home again,
forgive me to the rain.
It's true that I willed and wished for you,
each night upon my bed.
Driving down your road again,
a winding road of green,
your face a distant memory,

Lily was a maiden in the castle sea,
they found her in the forest,
where the wild willows be.
Lily was a maiden in the castle sea,
they found her in the forest,
where the wild willows be.
Singing "Don't plead me no! For I will seize you in the snow."
Singing "Don't plead me no! For I will seize you in the snow."

Little King
you grew up a mile from my town
and I never thought to write it down
raking the autumn leaves
and hoping for some pretty company

I was always packing a suitcase in the dark

Марисса Надлер — это американская девушка, которая выглядит как модель художника-прерафаэлита и поет как героиня «Маленьких трагедий» режиссера Швейцера: «Спой, Мери, нам уныло и протяжно, чтоб мы потом к веселью обратились». Песню для «Пира во время чумы» сочинил, помнится, Альфред Шнитке, Надлер же пишет сама, и пишет удивительно: сложно поверить, что ее баллады придуманы здесь и сейчас; кажется, что им лет по двести, что они были всегда.

Without a lover
Without a friend
Without a saviour
Without a friend
Without a lover
Without a friend
Mayflower walked away
Away towards the air

Oh to find
Another lover
Oh to lie
In the bed of another
Breaking the bread
And raising the silver there
With you

Mr. John Lee what is happening to me
last time I saw you
bringing fire wood into your house
from a tree
but I didn't love you
quite as much
as sweet Marie
the sherriff he never

Sooner or later,
I will see you or something,
oh we talked in the night
to the sound of a broken swing

In the beginning
stars I would fancy
and we'd rock in the night

Old love haunts me in the morning
La da da da da da da da di
Old love haunts in the evening
When the remnants of pictures come alive

I told you that I loved you
I laid the summer down
Come all your careless wanderers

Once your eyes were the master
muse to all my songs
cobalt and sea come back to me
I'll never do wrong

Winter would come
and nothing would move
summer's undone with all did I choose

Oh what a day to dance with you
Oh what a day to die
I held you once in the palm of my hand
And a fine old time it was
Rachel I fear your death will come
And leave me alone to die
Rachel I fear your death will come
And gone to the dogs and the dimes

Silvia, Silvia, Silvia,
I met you in the belly of a whale
Silvia, Silvia, Silvia
Oh where did you fail

Time passes slowly in the daylight
But I do not want to die
I met you in the belly of a wicked rhyme

Mother, the stallions are running wild.
Save me your evil thoughts of mind.
Lord, I try my best to save you from your mind.
Lord, I try my best to save you from your mind.
Mother, the table's dressed in white.
Save me your evil thoughts of mind.
I try my best to save you from your mind.
Lord I try my best to save you from your mind.

Will you play your famous song
your little song, your lovely song?
Will you play your famous song
for me?

I loved all the things he saw
the little warbirds in the dark
I loved the things he saw

Flowers died a long time ago my friend
And they're handing on the wall
With wax and thread

When you were young
Did you think it would ever end?
When you were young
Did you think it would ever end?

Thinking of you
All through the morning
I’m thinking of you
All through the evening
I’m thinking of you
And the way that your holy water grew

I met a girl under the water

Say hello to the sea
Or to the lonely water
Say hello to the sea
Under the skies of azure

And I met him yesterday
Under my old umbrella
And I met him yesterday

I was your undertaker, and I was your highway girl. And I was your bitter taste of every other world.
You wake in the maddening morning.
You wake in the fire light twirl.
You wait for your funny dancer,
from every other world.

And I was your undertaker.
And I was your ivory girl.

The waves rush against the folds of my face
As I start to drown
The waves rush against the folds of my face
As I start to drown

Oh, Virginia
Virgina, Virginia
Die

Wind her up, wind her up
it's been years since she came
over on the green plains to you

She calls his name
Shannaddee a dee a dee a dee
over rock and sea

Yellow lights are free and gladly
Light the shadow grey behind me
Can you help her walk away again
Blue the colour of the water
Mary and her devil-daughter
Drinking rubies in the rain again

Oh Mary
