Smallrose - Schematic Dreams

All around the tree are headstones
Tangled with the growing roots
Angel crowned with heart and crossbones
Tattered dresses flowing loose

Proof of life extinguished somewhere
Back in 1869
Suddenly she's lighter than air
Somewhere near the railway line

Before I was a writer I had schemes and plans
Before I was a novelist drowning in ink and sand
Before I was a writer I had plans and schemes
Before I was a architect believing schematic dreams

In an ancient London churchyard
Full of overlapping stones
In an age undone in her heart
Little more than skin and bones

Home to wandering souls and aces
Obsolescent valentines
And my heart was stolen faces
Somewhere near the railway line

Before I was a writer I had schemes and plans
Before I was a novelist drowning in ink and sand
Before I was a writer I had plans and schemes
Before I was a architect believing schematic dreams
