GEN Nelson - Basket Full Of Shadows

Описание

In my basket full of shadows Is a long and lonely night. It swallows up the daisies, It swallows up the light. Crawling on the wicker In between the stars Is a little ladybug That has strayed too far. I usher it away, Flying from these fears I keep hidden in my basket Hungering for tears. This stringed wooden basket, I hold dutifully on my arm, Is my Pandora's box I seal away from harm. But if the planets should fold, And the wicker shall break, The stars shoot away, For the heaven's sake, I must reach inside And tear heaven apart And hide the shadows In my stone heart.
