lyrics

Once away and wayward, with due confused surprise
I came upon a goddess, gathering cowpeas in her arms
Dressed in tatters and in hollies, skipping hapless through the trees
She quoted verse and folly, while she chatted with the bees

It's all the best that's possible, I'm afraid you might be right
But at least it's comfortable, through the darkness of the night
Through the darkness of the night

Queen to feral cats and weirdos, the homeless and the strange
She kept the mantle of my heroes, hanging safely out of range
With degenerate plants, bastard vines, wild wood rose for her tea
She wrapped me in her magic signs, from which I can't be free

It's all the best that's possible, I'm afraid you might be right
But at least it's comfortable, through the darkness of the night
Through the darkness of the night
Through the darkness of the night

She giggled and she blushed, and she called me by my name

And it seemed the world was hushed, as she sang this dark refrain
Sleep and death, my brothers, serving dullards and the wise
To tyrants and to mothers, a fate I'll stitch to size
And as the last dim battle, serves fools their just reward
I'll feed them to the cattle, as they're dying by the sword

Ahhhhhh!

I left her in that hollow, lit by starlight and the sky
Till she at last I'll follow, to eternity's reprise

It's all the best that's possible, I'm afraid you might be right
But at least it's comfortable, through the darkness of the night
Through the darkness of the night
Through the darkness of the night
Through the darkness of the night
