Lyrics and vocals by Moira Nelson

After the Fall, by Moira Nelson

Pale as a dream of winter
Within crystal chamber
Sand petals fall through eternity
Measuring hours 
In the glass of the lady
Whose tears are of silver
And smiles whispered gold.

Now she’s young
Now she’s spiders-web old
And is watching 
Through dragonfly wings
Shadow morning.

And wordless the emptiness, endlessness
Outside her eyes
Knowing legends 
Of flowers and of snows and of loving
While sand petals fall through eternity
Measuring hours.
