Porcelain

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A darker garden this, though pale with beauty In the louring of the rain How I long to break the silence Where the moths and tigers play [Chorus 1] Driving through the forest in the empty afternoon A Japanese car stalled inside a glade But the world is porcelain Yes, the world is porcelain [Bridge] And the quiet nights with the friend who could not stay Left the future all sun dazed [Verse 2] Alice, Jude and Laura singing All our friends have come to stay They are laughing in the sunlight Where the criss-cross fountains play [Chorus 2] Sunlight on the empty house and sunlight on the fields The cul-de-sac, the law, the tracks, the lane But the world is porcelain Yes, the world is porcelain [Verse 5] Still the evening will not come here And the stones are cracked and warm And the pool is filled with sunlight Still the evening will not come
