A Certain Slant Of Light Songtext / Lyric

There's a certain Slant of light,

Winter Afternoons –

That oppresses, like the Heft

Of Cathedral Tunes –






Heavenly Hurt, it gives us –

We can find no scar,

But internal difference,

Where the Meanings, are –



None may teach it – Any –

'Tis the Seal Despair –

An imperial affliction

Sent us of the air –



When it comes, the Landscape listens –

Shadows – hold their breath –

When it goes, 'tis like the Distance

On the look of Death –
