Black Butterfly
You were the right thing at the wrong time
Black Butterfly
Always so high
Glad heart, bright mind
Bitter cold, drunk on hope
I walked the city hills and back roads
On the arm of its favorite son
Along we walked, laughed and talked
Up stone stairs to see your favorite view
A city down on one knee, just for you
Yes I do hear you when you say
I can't plant a seed and expect to eat
From it the next day
But maybe somewhere else along our way
Our paths will cross again
Maybe even lace
Or maybe all has been is all will be
And I'll finally
Have to learn to appreciate
Black Butterfly
You were always so high
Glad heart, bright mind
Black Butterfly
You were the right thing at the wrong time - Track Name: Old Maps
-
We once built a pass through the mountains
Between your land and mine
Removing all that impedes us
How we toiled, how we pledged our time
Now the road between us lies empty
Covered in wild weeds and thorns
And only old maps remember
The lines our path once formed
You led us up to the stone tower
But we were turned away
Back past the crow in the cornfield
When you asked how I felt about caves
Anything you'd like to show me, darling
You know I'd like to see
But I must admit these caves were carved by men into the hills
And I must admit a little unease
And when you go it's always like you were taken
By a force of nature
By a power greater than
Your own will, like the sea just rose and swept in
Breaking furious and white over the mountain
Leveling the town that these hills had hemmed in
Future generations will be left with the questions
Who were these people and the lives that they were living?
Was this the bedroom, this perhaps the kitchen?
And now it's all as fading laughter down the hall
Footsteps on the second floor
Caves underwater
Frail girl, you need to live in a gentle world
Frail girl I wish I could give you a gentle world - Track Name: Near
-
With a book of hours
And a word of power
We wait, just beyond the veil
Montage of flipping calendar pages
There's a number put on each of your days and
Tick-Tocking tempos of progress in stages
Slow walks the sleeper, caught in his paces
Run
Where to share an observation
Of repeating theme, theme and variation
Of it's practical applications
All attendant connotations
A lyrical declaration of radiance and reclamation
Sunrise
As we walk on with our backs to the night
Love now, will you bow?
Or will you stand and face the crowd, proud
As I say out loud:
The mundane, the every day
It's wasting us, it's killing me
And all you, with your eyes
Look into your lives
Our footprints are not impressing the sands of time
Time
Fight, fight for your life - Track Name: East of the Sun, West of the Moon
-
Through the storm was heard a pounding
As if a cannon in the glen was sounding
When the man walked to his gate
A lone white bear did stand in wait
Sir he said in timbre torn
I have come to offer all you can ask for
With a word you'll be as rich
As you are now poor
In return I ask for just one thing
Of your four daughters do bring
The youngest for of her beauty
Even the pines sing:
Lovely
Walk through our woods and have peace
And at the end of each day's light
We'll see you through the night
In her bedroom doorway she shook and stared
He caught her eye and said: prepare
You will not deny your family
You will come with me
Prepare thyself and climb onto me
Hold tight
Hold me close and you will not be lost in the flight
We go to my castle and we go tonight
There you will have a silver bell
You only need to ring once to have your will
You will be my queen until the frozen lands are green
Love me
Eat of your fill and have peace
And at the end of each day's light
I'll join you for the night
Out now
Into the snow
Into the snow on the back of a beast she rode
