The Hesperus Motel

from In Circles by Old Semeil

lyrics

Flowers in the Street
I go casting my nasturtiums
say why so many hearts they're painted on his sleeve?
and why the voice so full of weeds?

There's a place at my bedside
in the Hesperus Motel
a ring upon your finger now
and a harbour or your soul

A harbour for your soul
A harbour for your soul

The Pacific Ocean pounds
all the rocks of the heads
while we promise just to weather
all the storms from this bed

And tarry no more
And tarry no more

We crossed that equinox
into an Aeries moon
it rained three days
the creek it roared and raged
when you come in from the cold
talking time is nothing more
than summer passing over the snow
the melody of flesh and bone
so sweetly sung in spring
to follow where the seasons go

And tarry no more
And tarry no more

In a cloud of wings
what of all these things?
What of all your broken strings
left in the air so trembling?

In the Hesperus Motel
with a ring upon your finger now
and a harbour for your soul

A harbour for your soul
A harbour for your soul
