Fox Fur

v1:

In search of the dream that you almost forgot;

the silent film screen had you dancing a lot;

the image was tangled in verse;

you were blessed with a curse -

of imaginary friends who never let you down/

they flew from Pari(s) with their heads in the clouds

and they said you have nothing to prove/

they were there just for you

v2:

And you lie awake as the night’s giving birth to the sun

while your bed’s at the edge of the Earth;

the bottomless pit was in view,

till i grabbed onto you

And you shook like a sinner that just saw the Holy Ghost;

i peered through the sadness, like a glass-bottom boat

and recovered the treasure of you

buried under the ruins

br:

Take my hand -  they’ll  change to wings

and we will be in deep flight;

people look like ants below us as they get in toy cars;

we can make believe the mountains on the East are molehills,

and rivers are spills from volcano cups;

did you ever think your freedom would have seen this distance

you were often in the shadow that I had to search hard

Take your breath, and make your peace, then we will have a perfect dive

vs3:

and now you appear like a floating mirage

as you turn back the years to your father’s garage;

where he held you as if you were pearls-

towards the light  you would swirl….

hold that memory, feel how it fills you inside;

your pages are ripped, but they’re brimming with life;

to me you have nothing to prove

I am here just  for you

I am here just for you

I am here just for you

I am here just for you
