Saturnalia Trio "Of Mosaic & Muse" lyrics

 
Song for Guillaume (Crommie)


It’s almost autumn of the year

It is almost autumn of the year

Summer is nearly gone

And what was once so near to me

I can only admire from afar

I can only admire from afar



Let me feel the heart of

The land beating strong

For when the grey winter comes

And my garden falls asleep

I’ll write this poem of growing love

And I’ll sing this song



As seas of growing grasses

Waving in late august heat

Revere the changing winds

And Indian summers rhapsodize

Of our growing love, I’ll write this poem

To our growing love I’ll sing this song



Summer Dresses (Crommie)


In the cool of the evening

After dizzy heat of day

Summer dresses – fields of color

Along country lanes they sway



Caught in the bustle and rush

Leave the hustle of the fray

Summer dresses – fields of color

Down busy streets a-sway



Autumn dresses in fiery fleece

Winter coated in solemn grey

Spring dressed in new green satin

Summer gowns florid cotton sway



I’m fat and I am happy

Breast-fed watercolor dusk

Motherland of motherlands

My eyes satisfied thus



In the cool of the evening

After dizzy heat of day

Summer dresses – fields of color

Along country lanes they sway



Autumn dresses in fiery fleece

Winter coated in solemn grey

Spring dressed in new green satin

Summer gowns florid cotton sway



Preston Cottage (Crommie)


Let’s make haste to Preston cottage

Take my hand, we’ll walk the road

Last we met cherries were in bloom

Now sun is high, they’re laden with fruit



After tea we’ll tour the garden

And it’s so good to see you again

Flicker & lilac in whispering zephyr

Woven together on a filigreed page



You’ve lived alone simply, so content

Tending the roses, minding the mint

I’ll remember you when sun is low

Shadows long, with pen in hand



Let’s make haste to Preston water

Take my hand down the dusty road

Tonight we’ll gaze at starry heavens

Bible & candle in moon-lit sky



When Your World Comes Tumbling Down (Crommie)


Where will you sleep

When you can’t stop to rest

And who will break your fall

As you stumble from the crest



When your world comes tumbling down



Where will you flee to

When blind injustice calls

And where will you hide this time

When your team is backed against the wall



When your world comes tumbling down



Who will you finger

When plans don’t go as planned

And just who will you attack

When your foes have all been damned



When your world comes tumbling down



Did you remember the ones

Who never had far to fall

And forget the faces of players

Who never had the ball



When your world comes tumbling down



Cobwebs (Crommie)


Hello again my friend

I’ve come again to take your memories

Quietly to hallowed Hades

Cobwebs stretching cell to cell

Occupy your personal hell



One look inside reveals

Years of woeful neglect

Grimace as all your thoughts collect

Cobwebs stretch from side to side

Reveal the sum of all you hide



Farewell life, farewell

Adieu to what once was

Crows circle over us

Cobwebs reach up to the sky

And spirited away we’ll fly
