From the album: Ride the Tiger
Lyrics for The Empty Pool
Too unpressed for strategy so dignity must be spared Watch the leaves in the empty pool as the widow drew her shade Season was here No drums to calm their fear Let's drink the leper's beer The leper's playing his salsa game and tempest swept dark land The lover's turns and parasites over the frying pan Season was here No drums to calm their fear Let's drink the leper's beer Coffee's brewed And the men playing cards And the mystery plane And the forest winds Their searching out over the sea Their searching out over the sea Too unpressed for strategy so dignity must be spared Watch the leaves in the empty pool as the widow drew her shade Season was here No drums to calm their fear Let's drink the leper's beer Coffee's brewed And the men playing cards And the mystery plane And the forest winds Their searching out over the sea Their searching out over the sea
