The Sandstone Man Lyrics - And Also The Trees

The sandstone man 

I feel my head fall to the ground 

Gaping mouth and broken crown 

The sandstone man 

Through the bramble snakes 

That scratched away my face 

I see the clouds like blossom round the moon 

The sandstone man 

Nobody knows where I am 

I could utter my name to you 

>From my nettle grave 

The sandstone man 

The rain erodes my crest 

My hands into my chest 

The sandstone man 

Nobody knows who I am 

But you know I am close to you 

I watched a tree grow tall and fall 

I saw you riding down the rainy lanes 

In november 

The sandstone man 

You have forgotten who I am 

The honeysuckle twists across my breast 

And I am happy 

I see the stinted willows by the frozen stream 

And the frost as far as eye can see 

But you have forgotten who I am 

Sometimes the sky is full of birds 

But mostly it is empty
