The Policeman Is Dead Current 93

The Light Is Leaving Us All
West Street–the shutters shut dark
The flowers flow and sing in the drift
The Light Is Leaving Us All
And in the night the cuckoos call
To The Light That Is Leaving Us All
Far away the RED BARN burns
Oh rose you are dead
And around you
The storm kicks her heels
And sucks
The Light Which Is Leaving Us Now
And I hear the steps in the night
And I catch the beats of my heart

And the lantern is blinding
And bright burn the wedges in our eyes
And The Light Is Leaving Us All
On Long Lane where we fall
Into the CauseWay
I heard the Stars split open
By the post–by the Moon
By the chapel–call the surgeon
The surgeon is dead
Call the PoliceMan
The PoliceMan is dead
And the Moon is drunk
And the NightNurse is sick
And the murderer's dead
The assembly is killing time
And the clock has slowed to sugar
By the way–have you heard?
The Light Is Leaving Us All
So may I recall you
The Light Is Leaving You Now
Sly days sleep and fly
Little villages drop down
And sleep dull dreams full of milk
