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
