Then She Appeared - XTC

Then she appeared

Apple venus on a half open shell

Then she appeared

The first photograph on Fox Talbots gel

I was a little frightened

Flying with my senses heightened

Cherubim cheered

Then she appeared

Then she appeared

As the giggling crew of Marie Celeste

Then she appeared

Pale Atlantis rising out of the west

I was a little dazzled

Catherine wheeled and senses frazzled

Know it sounds weird

Then she appeared

And the sun which formally shone

In the clearest summer sky

Suddenly just changed address

Now shines from her blue eyes

Then she appeared

Brittle shooting star that dropped in my lap

Then she appeared

Dressed in tricolour and phrygian cap

I was a little troubled

Hookah with my senses bubbled

All Edward leared

Then she appeared

And the moon which formally shone

On the marbled midnight mile

Suddenly just packed its bags

Now shines from her bright smile

Then she appeared

Out of nowhere
