Ana Silvera - Snow Queen lyrics

I'll make you a corsage Of Chantilly lace Comfrey and eyebright And reeds from the lake And tie it with cambric Before you awake Upon your heart sleeping This precious keepsake From here the land's edge Is a scrawl on the sea It writes and unwrites itself Tirelessly And I, in the eaves On my eiderdown seat See riddles and rhymes Where your words ought to be And the green-fingered lady Who longed, longed me to stay Made all the roses wither away And smoke, lilac footed As I climbed, climbed the gate And reams of clouds hid me As I made my escape It was autumn, autumn How long did I sleep? The moon-coloured waters They whispered your name And said with her carriage The deep snows came And she kissed you and bound you With icicle chains Made winter your lodge And gave frost to your veins From here the land lies Like a mast on the sea It rises and banks And it confuses me And I, in the eaves On my eiderdown seat See riddles and rhymes Where your words ought to be The ice-shouldered Queen Who vowed, vowed you'd remain Made all the roses Wither in spring And from the snow palace I'll steal you away And my tears will make Your poor heart bloom again Like roses
