There's an emerald crack in her being
Planting roses in her ancient heart
She'll place them in darkness to keep you
From the loneliness from the start.

This lullaby has intoxicated
She shakes her head, ears ringing
Doesn't want to hear the beauty.
But Lord knows, she can't stop singing.

Doesn't want to leave you
The chance to see winter's fold
But you've always been a golden boy
She'll sing up the sunrise and make it gold...

You see the sun in her words
In your dreams you find a lifeline
The whole night the notes of wisdom
A serenade to last a lifetime.

~*~

He watches the joy of autumn
Narrator of streams and ships
Wine pours out when we've slumbered
Cracks of a smile in another's lips

A thousand tunes are playing
Heart beating madly when it can
And the music catches him off-guard
Doesn't know he loves a man

So the serenade drifts onwards
In the masquerade of night
He'll sing the darkness from his soul
You'll wake up when the time is right

There's a sun where you are sleeping
But he's watching you hushed and still
The pain in his heart is beautiful
Pricking the song with golden will.

~*~

She's pressed against white linen
White lights against the din
He's got his arm around the boy
Doesn't want to see a life of sin.

Cruel song you've made her suffer
Strange life you've made me whole
If the melody move onwards
We'll wake up to the endless soul.

His daughter's in the lobby
And the sighs are growing wide
When her smile cracks another note
You let it echo inside.

If life keeps forever singing
Learning to love and save,
Then live your life for a little while
Come back to hold me in the grave.
