Laura Gibson
Clemency
So it goes, my sparrow hawk
The air became a darker shade of ominous
No joke, no gem reflect
You spoke no regret when your body spoke
It spoke of death

Oh, you can't slow the fading light
Oh, the question on your mind
Question always on your mind
Was on mine

Like a silent rising moon
Other field blooms are barren still
So I pull my wire in
Of grass is green under of a hinge
I need your whole life turns

Oh, you can't slow the fading light
Oh, the question on your mind
Question always on your mind
Was on mine

You are all I know, my winter end
You my great jay, my snow shadow

Oh, you can't slow the fading light
Oh, you can't slow all the time
The question on your mind
Was the question on mine

Slow
It goes, my crow, my rook
Hope can be a hook
Time I love you back
