An Oxford shadow fades to robbery
White flag in the yard marks our anniversary
I see shapes that I don't understand
Wives tales and foxglove in the palm of my hand
Turning time into caramel
In the twilight of our dwell
Hearts in secret circles cast a spell
One side is black and the others grey
Fortress of discontent I choose to obey
There are forgone conclusions gently drawn
Sand castles in a freshly mowed lawn
Down the street sits a car that doesn't run
Abandoned drama's won't be undone
Poison arrows, aimed and true
A murder of crows flies overhead and out of view
