The Ink In The Well Lyrics by David Sylvian

The Ink In The Well Lyrics

    The lights of the ashes smoulder through hills and vales
    Nostalgia burns in the hearts of the strongest
    Picasso is painting the ships in the harbour
    The wind and sails
    These are years with a genius for living

    The rope is cut, the rabbit is loose
    (fire at will in this open season)
    The blood of a poet, the ink in the well
    (it's all written down in this age of reason)

    The animals run through harvested fields of fire
    The bitterness shown on the face of the homeless
    Picasso is painting the flames from the houses
    The sudden rain
    These are years with a genius for living

    The rope has been cut, the rabbit is loose
    (fire at will in this open season)
    The blood of a poet, the ink in the well
    (it's all written down in this age of reason)

    Fire at will
