Carcosa

[instrumental intro] [verse 1] Along the shore the cloud waves break, The twin suns sink behind* the lake, The shadows lengthen [whispered interlude] In Carcosa. [verse 2] Strange is the night where black stars rise, And strange moons circle through the skies But stranger still is [whispered interlude] Lost Carcosa. [verse 3] Songs that the Hyades shall sing, Where flap the tatters of the King, Must die unheard in [whispered interlude] Dim Carcosa. [verse 4] Song of my soul, my voice is dead; Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed Shall dry and die in [whispered interlude] Lost Carcosa. [instrumental] [Repeat verse 1] [accordion solo] [fade out and end]
