When The Paint Grows Darker Still

I am just a weary singer
Moving through this world of ills
Hark the choir of predecessors
When the paint grows darker stillOnce I found a golden trumpet
In the mash of an old landfill
Now I play for the spirits
When the paint grows darker stillWinter waited in my garden
When the sun did refuse to shine
Honeybees all in a slumber
Skies filled up the sea
Falling down on meWinter waited in my garden
When the sun did refuse to shine
Honeybees are in a slumber
Skies filled up the sea
Falling down on me
