I will sing praise regardless
To that kindred spirit
To her brilliant eye
I pray for her wings and her joy
May she remain unguarded
Surrounded in friendship
Surrounded by love
Unyielding in ferocity
I will sing praise regardless
To that kindred spirit
To her brilliant eye
I pray for her wings and her joy
May she remain unguarded
Surrounded in friendship
Surrounded by love
Unyielding in ferocity
One step then the next
Open your eyes and fret not
Go about the day
Stranger hold your tongue
And keep your distance
Should you hold my hand
Then lose your manners
You’ve set the bird free
Happy girl now you may run
Oh what have you done
Laugh with me
Help me grow old
Ease me with tales of your gold
Tell me the story of each piece of silver
Their meaning each treasure to you
Laugh with me
Help me embrace
The glitter life’s splayed ‘cross my face
Tell me you’ll seek me, need me, keep me
As we walk in our soul’s shoes
The blush of my heart
Is home here in your shadow
The cool of your calm
Soaked in and wrung out as the Sun at day’s end
With only the scorched skin to show
Hands up and head back, to laugh is the key
At best and at worst, I am faced to knowI
Amuse
Me
I laced my fingers
in between yours. It felt right.
And then I woke up.
I’m a mail-order bride
Don’t get me wrong
But you know dating
Is a too-tragic song
From far away to there
In sixty-seconds flat
White dress, bare feet
Golden Boy, beat that
In benevolent disguise
The mighty workhorse sets out to tarry
With trouble to cause and pain to promote
So much static you don’t know the difference
Between assent or enslavement
Surrender or defeat
