lyrics

Ceiling Rose, Ceiling Rose
Beneath your leaves our secrets unfold,
Ceiling Rose, Ceiling Rose
Beneath your leaves are worries untold.

I have dreamed, I have slept
I have sighed, I have kept,
I have silently wept;
And you gaze in return with acanthus and fern,
You remind me that all is a circle and fall -
Until the dawn.

Ceiling Rose, Ceiling Rose
Beneath your leaves our secrets unfold,
Ceiling Rose, Ceiling Rose
Beneath your leaves are vapours of old.

Whether plaster or tin,
Where does the pattern begin?
Pupils mould to your shape
In the night when I awake.
You remind me that all is a circle and fall -
Until the dawn.
