Heybridge Basin

lyrics

We spent the day at Lincoln's Inn Fields
Where the lawyers eat and homeless drink
And students sit somewhere between,
Reminding me of me and you.
You were in bloom in Lincoln’s Inn Fields
With sandals on and new perfume
And all the grace my eyes did give you;
Erring me from me to you.

We spent the night in the bed of a dog
Where the dark was warmed by gentle hands
And the air we breathed was mostly breath,
Heavy with love and difficult questions.
But light was the weight of my body
And lightly it shook within the black,
Light as the dog hair that matted our sleep
Till the light of the morning fell heavy and black.

We spent the day at Heybridge Basin,
Where the light is thick with lonely bronze
And the air is cleansed by rising waters,
Which measure the day by the swell of the sea.
Bronze was the man with the parasol
And bronze was his wife in the shade;
For bronze was the light of Heybridge Basin,
The day I mistook East Essex for my home.
