Mother-Of-Pearl Moon Songtext
von And Also the Trees
Mother-Of-Pearl Moon Songtext
Green lamps hung from branches of trees dead
Feathers in the headdress welded with thread
Mother-of-pearl moon
And the spring flowers turning
The courtesans in their rooms
Preening, dressing, undressing
Dust falling
Broken light on the black water
Still apricot trees outlined alive
As time lags behind us
And we see their blue sashes wave like sails
Your subtle mind like a cat in the night
Threading softly around me
The tangled locks of your jet black hair
The courtesans in their rooms
Turning out their lights
With mother-of-pearl moon
Feathers in the headdress welded with thread
Mother-of-pearl moon
And the spring flowers turning
The courtesans in their rooms
Preening, dressing, undressing
Dust falling
Broken light on the black water
Still apricot trees outlined alive
As time lags behind us
And we see their blue sashes wave like sails
Your subtle mind like a cat in the night
Threading softly around me
The tangled locks of your jet black hair
The courtesans in their rooms
Turning out their lights
With mother-of-pearl moon
