lyrics

Neutral Tones

We stood by a pond that winter's day
And the sun was white as though chidden of God
And a few leaves lay on the starving sod
They had fallen from an ash and were grey
Your eyes on me were as eyes that rove
Over tedious riddles of years ago

Neutral tones
We speak in neutral tones.

The smile on your mouth was the deadest thing
Alive enough to have strength to die
And a grin of bitterness swept thereby
Like an ominous bird a-wing
And some words played between us to and fro
On which lost the more by our love

Neutral tones
We speak in neutral tones.

Since then keen lessons that love deceives
And wrings with wrong have shaped me
Your face and the God-cursed sun and a tree
And a pond edged with greyish leaves

Neutral Tones
We speak in neutral tones.
