West of Words lyrics

[ALICE SPENCER]
There's a world we knew as we
Before, before
A story entered
A tiny key we turned
West of words

[ALICE SPENCER & ALFRED HALLAM]
Now we're falling through the ground
And falling slow
The house is tumbling down
Still, we know, we know
All that yearns
West of words, west of words

[ALICE]
A rose remembered draws us onward

[ALICE & ALFRED]
A world adjourned
West of words

[ALICE]
There's a hatter holding tea
On madder lawn
A waltz of children
With tall and talking birds
West of words
[ALICE & ALFRED]
There's a golden silver song
In the afternoon
A caterpillar poof
He's calling you
Pages turn
West of words, west of words

The lonely tortoise
Crawling onward
A moon that burns
West of words

[ALICE & TABATHA]
And something whispers of something gone
A little Cheshire purr

[ALICE & ALFRED]
West of words

[ALICE]
West of words
