Antony and the Johnsons The Snow Abides Lyrics

( Michael Cashmore "The Snow Abides" feat. Antony )

Through the towering streets
Grey flecked with the sun
I am fallen and tumble
Endomed in snow glass orbed Alice eyes
America is dreaming of a restless autumn
Snow abides
When I saw you
My heart arose

Royal black and blue I am not lost
Yet little star
In the doorway I catch a sign
Shuddering still
Oh there is too much, there is too much
And can I
And I cannot, cannot...
Snow abides
When I saw you
My heart arose - ecstatic b___erfly
Slipping away
Waving goodbye
Leaving quick silvered fire
In pools on your way

When I exit and I recall your eyes
Leaden depth and dark
Hinting at s___e
Oh the richness
Too much of everything
And unborn uncreate

To be unborn, to be unborn
To be unborn, to be unborn

Like an angel fallen whilst I saw your eyes
Leaking lights
Follow the clouds drifting like comets
Ten twenty years, where will you sleep?
You move for the sun lie down in blossom
But a body can scarcely hold in
And man may not bear
The gold form angelic
I heard someone whisper
As you ran by me
Waving goodbye
