Caterpillar - The Colorist Orchestra, Emiliana Torrini

The hem of her dress spills over

What covers the seat

And flutters in the breeze like

Caterpillars on a leaf

Hair the hue of lions

Beaches dried by morning suns

Promise you will write me a poem

Of who I am 'for sadness comes

Oh, it comes in slow slow whispers

When it comes feels like long long winters

She placed her hand in the sun and

With her shadow smoothed me down

Turn your mind down low now

Hold me close 'for madness comes

Oh, it comes in slow slow whispers

When it comes feels like long long winters

Let it come in slow slow whispers

Let it come with its long long winters
