Calliope - White Hinterland

Calliope

I can hear your voice

As clear as a bell

As a bell ringing through the night

Through the night

O Calliope

Your tablets of wax

And your golden crown

So wise, so wise

O Calliope

I need your impartial eye

To guide me

My love is gone to another

O Calliope

Your archaic smile

What lurks behind

And makes your lips look alive

Look alive

O Calliope

I fear I’m growing cold

As the marble stone

That you lie in

That you lie in

O Calliope

I need your impartial eye

To guide me when my love is gone

He is gone, gone for good

Tell him to return

Tell him to return

Tell him to return…
