lyrics

Threads of primrose, oh
Tangled in the undergrowth
Show the way the winds may blow below
A dried place of heaviness,
Recollected by the bark
By the humming of insects

Yellow was the cloth he brought
Homecoming from market, oh
There his love would kneel and sow
A present for the youngest one
There, in the yellow dress,
Treasure of the wild wood
She would share a wordless gift
Carried out by scavengers

Yellow dress, the yellow dress

A ship that has lost its sail
Lingers half a mile from shore
Manned by memories of men
Below

A soft tide will roll their bones
Wash their ever-nodding crowns
Of letters that must go back home
Alone

Yellow was the sail she flew
Undulating in the breeze
Filled with secret horrors, oh
Of carrion and cadences and
There, in the yellow thread,
Skipping through the quiet wood
She will weave between the trees
Strings of dark fertility
