Chance Emerson - The Raspberry Men lyrics

Artist: Chance Emerson

album: The Raspberry Men


Pebbles and sea-glass meet
And crunch beneath the soles of my feet
As I land this sailboat on the beach
And walk up a trail to eternity
Come down, oh love divine
Lift up up this terror of mine
That even the kings turn to dust in time
Ozymandias lies forgotten nearby
So comforter, draw near
Throw a freckle behind each ear
As I march through old firs and spruce chandeliers
Wrinkle my cheeks with each wasted year
There let it freely burn
As the raspberry men in turn
Burst saccharine caviar and liqueur
And shrivel away and dissolve into earth, I wonder
Youth! an apocryphal phase
Youth! of just borrowed days and
Youth! ephemeral nights
So come down, oh love divine, and slow down the fervor of time
And so the yearning strong
At the top of the hill by dawn
The cicadas fill the air with song
Cos a couple more days is not too long
So let your glorious light
Shine down on me as I cry
It's fine that you're getting older, child
Cos I'm getting old right by your side, I wonder
Youth! an apocryphal phase
Youth! of just borrowed days and
Youth! ephemeral nights
So come down, oh love divine
So come down, oh love divine
So come down, oh love divine, and slow down the fervor of time
