Trembling Blue Stars

A Spell Of Songs

Disco: Correspondence EP [2011]
Autor: Robert James Wratten

Crying along to a story

A language she didn't understand

Everyone threw him away

She took his hand

 

Songs of

Love and blood

And prison

Always prison

 

An accordian

He cradled

Handbells on a table

 

Music's gift

A path out of loneliness

And a measure of comfort

 

Estranged from

His mothertown

Everything changed when the wall came down

 

A small apartment of possessions

Passageways for navigation

Coffee grinders, sowing machines

Radios and biscuit tins

 

Flowers for his birthday

Tears for his songs

Everyone threw him away

Everyone was wrong
