The Clientele - Porcelain lyrics

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 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 And the quiet nights with the friend who could not stay Left the future all sundazed Alice, Jude and Laura singing All our friends have come to stay They are laughing in the sunlight Where the criss-cross fountains play 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 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
