Green-laced Stones

On the Green-laced Stones

I have no experience here
That much is perfectly clear
Here by a stream of unrequited dreams
Lay the green-laced stones
Lay the green-laced stones

Mary took him as a guide
Traveled the uncharted skies
Random and free far from bitter destiny
And the green-laced stones
And the green-laced stones

They rode through that perilous night
Witnessed with unvarnished sight
Spectacles mean, humble company
Were the green-laced stones
Were the green-laced stones

Never could she be his wife
Though she loved with unbridled delight
On a carpet of green circumstances unseen
Lay the green-laced stones
Lay the green-laced stones

A fearful dirge it was heard
Bore witness to their final words
Engraved at this place, two names lay in grace
On the green-laced stones
On the green-laced stones
