lyrics

So it comes to this
So it winds and it aches and it tries
And it comes to this
The fire before the flower
The storm before the flood
The jealous violet hour
Oh, April is the cruelest month
Oh, May - what you got going on?

Breathe out the trouble you breathed in
All bathed in the light of original sin
Loose the dust from the clutch of the fearsomest fist
Breathe out the trouble now

Hold me
Oh me
Oh my
Only

Son of man or a trick of the light?
Cast the nets and I wept for the old gulls’ cry
And the deep sea swell
And the thin white line
Where the sea and the sky should meet

Hold me
Oh me
Oh my
Only

Oh hyacinth girl born to blush unseen
How the desert air trembled in sweet relief
And the cricket rejoiced to an empty sea
And we weren’t left wanting

Hold me
Oh me
Oh my
Only

The violet hour come and gone
These fragments all ashore
Tears of things I’ve left undone
Oh, April is the cruelest month
And you my love, the cruelest one
