Semaphore Seasons

[Verse 1]
Semaphore through the seasons
With these ageing hands
Drunk with death and lilies
In the twilight land
Time is a friend to no one
And makes it very clear
The sun is far behind us
And winter frost is here

[Chorus]
As the shadows fall
As the day is done
Oh, let the clock wind down
Oh, let the bells be rung
As the shadows fall
As the day is done
Let the clock wind down
Let the bells be rung

[Verse 2]
Sanctified by the centuries
We pass through [?]
Into the fields of [?]
The never-ending view
[?] through the [?]
We drink [?] dry
[?] into the playground
Destined to make the teachers cry

[Chorus]
And as the shadows fall
And as the day is done
Oh, let the clock wind down
Oh, let the bells be rung
And as the shadows fall
And as the day is done
Oh, let the clock wind down
Oh, let the bells be rung

[Verse 3]
Dead seeds for our harvest
Mould upon our bread
Jackals drown out the service
And three witches by our bed
Oh, the pendulums waving
And looking down at the rocks
Along the black brick road
Knock, knock, knock on Pandora's box

[Chorus]
As the shadows fall
And as the day is done
Oh, let the clock wind down
Oh, let the bells be rung
And as the shadows fall
And as the day is done
Let the clock wind down
Let the bells be rung
Oh, as the shadows fall
Oh, as the day is done
Oh, let the clock wind down
Oh, let the bells be rung
Oh, as the shadows fall
Oh, as the day is done
Oh, let the clock wind down
Oh, let the bells be rung
