Songs to Aging Children Come

[Verse 1]
Through the windless wells of wonder
By the throbbing light machine
In a tea leaf trance or under
Orders from the king and queen

[Chorus]
Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one

[Verse 2]
People hurry by so quickly
Don't they hear the melodies
In the chiming and the clicking
And the laughing harmonies

[Chorus]
Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one

[Verse 3]
Some come dark and strange like dying
Crows and ravens whistling
Lines of weeping, strings of crying
So much said in listening

[Chorus]
Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one

[Verse 4]
Does the moon play only silver
When it strums the galaxy
Dying roses will they will their
Perfumed rhapsodies to me

[Outro]
Songs to aging children came
This is one
