Salamander Eggs Lyrics

Away me down to where the dogwood grows

And bury me among the fertile dead

A stranger sound to sing so far from home

And dance among the daffodils instead

And dance among the daffodils instead

Rain all over, rain o'er all

Rain all over, rain o'er all

Away the leaves, the roots remain below

Asleep alone beneath the evergreen

A strange reprise resounding from the grove

And not a single creature to be seen

And not a single creature to be seen

Rain all over, rain o'er all

Rain all over, rain o'er all

O'er all

They seek a god among sepulchral halls

And swing the smoke between the colonnades

And in the mud that washes from the walls

There grows a patch of salamander eggs

There grows a patch of salamander eggs

Rain all over, rain o'er all

Rain all over, rain o'er all

Rain all over, rain o'er all

Rain all over, rain o'er all
