No Song

Wine and old boots All clarity gone Old cloudy diamonds He left me with no song. Dandelion wine pulled from the root Nighttime coming on Shattered vases on the floor He left me with no song. Red, white, and pink those fruits Passing through till dawn Dusty, dirty windowpanes He left me with no song. Flowering on the vine thy shoots The victim of a con Cracks in my glasses He left me with no song. Sweet nectar and playing flutes Broken dreams from yon Leaving only a gaping heart He left me with no song.
