Lyrics Eyeless in Gaza - Likeness of Summer

once I found you walking,
with footsteps gently drawing you
somewhere fit for falling...
traps and snares you'd set for you...
treasures so appalling,
so dark and drear and all dazzling to you...
you would not hear the calling
of a likeness of summer,
running in full bloom

once I found you walking
with fingers roaming, twining in your hair to soothe you
and rubbing eyes and laughing,
thrashing at the air around you,
open hands a clapping and marking time;
so seductive a tune, flowering perfumed persuading...
a likeness of summer, running in full bloom...
a likeness of summer, running in mad pursuit...
a likeness of summer, running , after you.
