Saint Asaph's Steps

from And the Rainbirds Sang by Frances Smith

/

lyrics

The painting is pink and brown
and there are grey lights shining down
the daylight glows through the windows
it's a picture, and the cars pass by

And the air conditioning hums
as outside the rain reflects the sun
his cigarette smoke floats away, I follow him
though he doesn't know me, anyway

So hot it doesn't burn him
carrying his load he says
yes and no, yes and no
yes and no, yes and no
and the grey feather blows away
into the alleyway, where he goes

And I walked towards Saint Asaph's steps
as the load I carried burned me so
the empty frame holding the vision lost
made me wonder if he'd know me, anyway

So hot it doesn't burn him
carrying his load he says
yes I'll go, yes I'll go
yes I'll go, yes I'll go
and the spirit flies around him
as beyond time he walks

I walked towards Saint Asaph's steps (x 3)
there's been no one climbed them
for a long, long time
for a long, long time
for a long, long time
for a long, long time
