She's a mollusk, a seamstress, a princessA priestess, a negress, she knows her positionShe's a swallow, a willow, a cello,A pillow, a bow and also a physicianShe takes your eyes and mends your headShe draws the wine and breaks the breadShe has no lies to tell you and no truths to sell youShe's a girl, she's almost a womanAnd zero she flies as the morning sighsSpreads her wings like a seagullFrom the mountain he watches her, biding his timeBut his eyes are the eyes of an eagleHe's a hawthorn, a raven, a scarecrow, a havenFor moon blessed thought and opinionHe will laugh like the fountains, the bones of the mountainsLie deep in his forest religionYou will call his name when evening fallsAnd the ground sets hard and the night wind callsYou will feed him and heed him, at times you will need himSay, you were almost his womanAnd zero she flies as the morning sighsSpreads her wings like a seagullFrom the mountain he watches her, biding his timeBut his eyes are the eyes of an eagleIn the shuddering mad, red blood let sunsetA tired man is leaving his coverAnd the soft eyes of zero are cut by the soundsOf the vanishing feet of her loverAnd the door slams shut and the air grows tightAnd her throat is gripped by the hands of nightAnd all that is left is the clock on the shelfAs it ticks one day into anotherAnd zero, she sighs as the morning diesWith the broken wings of a seagullFrom the mountain he watches her, sensing his timeBut his eyes are the eyes of an eagleAt the pall of the day, the man of the mountainIs nearing the end of his travel and the fence is downOn the west land boundsAnd a footfall pounds in the gravelComes a knock three times and the air grows stillAs he steps inside from the sudden chillAnd the moment is caught in the net of the nightFor the coming of dawn to unravelAnd zero she flies as the morning sighsSpreads her wings like a seagullFrom the mountain he's coming, judging his timeAnd his eyes are the eyes of an eagleOhh, zero she flies as the morning diesSpreads her wings like a seagullFrom her window he watches her, a man in his timeBut his eyes are the eyes of an eagle
