Adrienne Rich - The Insusceptibles lyrics
[Adrienne Rich - The Insusceptibles lyrics]
Then the long sunlight lying on the sea
Fell, folded gold on gold and slowly we
Took up our decks of cards, our parasols
The picnic hamper and the sandblown shawls
And climbed the dunes in
Silence there were two
Who lagged behind as lovers sometimes do
And took a different road for us the night
Was final, and by artificial light
We came indoors to sleep no envy there
Of those who might be watching anywhere
The lustres of the summer dark, to trace
Some vagrant splinter blazing out of space
No thought of them, save in a lower room
To leave a light for them
When they should come
Then the long sunlight lying on the sea
Fell, folded gold on gold and slowly we
Took up our decks of cards, our parasols
The picnic hamper and the sandblown shawls
And climbed the dunes in
Silence there were two
Who lagged behind as lovers sometimes do
And took a different road for us the night
Was final, and by artificial light
We came indoors to sleep no envy there
Of those who might be watching anywhere
The lustres of the summer dark, to trace
Some vagrant splinter blazing out of space
No thought of them, save in a lower room
To leave a light for them
When they should come
Fell, folded gold on gold and slowly we
Took up our decks of cards, our parasols
The picnic hamper and the sandblown shawls
And climbed the dunes in
Silence there were two
Who lagged behind as lovers sometimes do
And took a different road for us the night
Was final, and by artificial light
We came indoors to sleep no envy there
Of those who might be watching anywhere
The lustres of the summer dark, to trace
Some vagrant splinter blazing out of space
No thought of them, save in a lower room
To leave a light for them
When they should come
Then the long sunlight lying on the sea
Fell, folded gold on gold and slowly we
Took up our decks of cards, our parasols
The picnic hamper and the sandblown shawls
And climbed the dunes in
Silence there were two
Who lagged behind as lovers sometimes do
And took a different road for us the night
Was final, and by artificial light
We came indoors to sleep no envy there
Of those who might be watching anywhere
The lustres of the summer dark, to trace
Some vagrant splinter blazing out of space
No thought of them, save in a lower room
To leave a light for them
When they should come
