Face
9. Face

I... I wanna take a picture of your face in the morning

Sometimes
You don’t look so good
Sometimes
You sit there yawning

You’re a child with no direction
You’re a spider with seven legs

Why can’t you see what you’re gonna be today?
Why can’t you be, just plain ol’ be, today?

I... I wanna take a picture of your face when you’re dreaming....

10. Wintered In

The stepmother sun in the twilight has come
It’s a cold, cold day
She sees me here coatless and shivering pale
She calls but then scolds me away

“Oh Lady of Winter won’t you please let me stay
I want to feel you on my skin”
But her light is a warmless one, brittle and mean
My sigh turns to frost as I follow my footprints back in

Oh - Wintered in....

Miss Aurora you have such a beautiful name
Befitting a girl of your grace
I’d gladly brave 40 crystal clear nights
Just for a glimpse of your face

So often you tease us and leave us in want
One shimmering sweep then you go
Oh pity the sleep-laden eyes of the dreamers
Who lay unsuspecting in bed while you swirl your hello
