Golden Country Kingdom

In the hour that the forest puts the lake to bed
She rises to the surface, swims through the darkness in my head
The crate with next year's promises arrived in another town
And the leaves I can't remember are slowly turning brown

Far from the skies
Away from her eyes
The golden country kingdom
The rose it swings and dies
The time we all come home
The predictable successes
I hope to find the courage
Made of last year's evening dresses
All the sparkle and the laughter
That echoes round the tables
And the trees remember little birds
They murdered in the fables

Far from the skies
Away from her eyes
The golden country kingdom
Unfolds its wings and dies

When winter calls the summer liar and freezes up its feet
I queued up for her kisses, I stood in lines I can't repeat
Now the diamond wagons have reached their destination
And the piper calls the tunes back from the benches in the station

Far from the skies
Away from her eyes
The golden country kingdom
Unfolds its wings and dies

Through the smoky trails where skymen ride their slashing silver swords
And now the mantles of the bride of brightly armoured lords
Half naked trees let their last notes fall like coins on plates of grief
To stock this stores of sorrow and to bring me quick relief

Far from the skies
Away from her eyes
The golden country kingdom
Unfolds its wings and dies
