lyrics

Let the gold antlers flash in the night
Let cold rivulets flow from the eye of the kite
As he navigates west from Apollo to Marss
When I marry the Maiden of Stars.

Let the juniper flourish its power
Let a hectic of youth jump through each velvet flower
Let the green deadlights float in their porphyry vase
When I marry the Maiden of Stars.

Let old rustlers and cardsharps declaim
Let strong grasses wave over each decayed name
And dry ghosts prop the counters in long disused bars
When I marry the Maiden of Stars.

Let a circle of diamonds explode
In the temple of Kali at the end of the road
Where oxen and buffalo sing in their cars
When I marry the Maiden of Stars.

Let the liquid all wash to the floor
In a land where we still wish to tarry once more
Let languages live which no tongue can parse
When I marry the Maiden of Stars.
