Virginia and the skeleton (Almond blossom song)


Tick tick tock 
The universe stops
Delicate fragrance
Permeates our despair
They can’t find a trace
Of poor Virginia
Iily white hands
Curious face
Waltzed through walls
To a shadowy place
Which no one dares
To name at all
Don’t be dismayed (Papa)
Don’t be distraught

Chorus
Dissolve your fear
Like darkling night
In the palm of a child
She will return
Refracted sunlight
Antique shadow
Lacing dances
Through the pane
Tracing glimpses
Of dank rain

Don’t be distraught (Papa)
Don’t be dismayed
I have my jewels
The ghost is dead
Almond blossoms
Light and tender
Line the coffin
Of my youth
Brilliant the light
O thousand proofs
Pink as surrender
Pure and white
God may have mercy
Though he murdered his wife

Ashes and sadness
Take this ghost’s life
May god forgive
His lonely skeleton
Before the clock mourns
To strike his pardon
Almond blossoms unlock doors  
In midnight’s secret garden

Chorus
Defrost your fear
Like darkling night
In the palm of a child
She will return
Refracted sunlight
Antique shadow
Lacing dances
Through the pane
Tracing glances
Of dappled rain.
