lyrics

Hold my hand and walk through the park with me
we only got a couple days
might as well make the best of the time we have
pen some lyrics to a soft clandestine tongue
or simply sit around in chairs
wond'ring where the time has gone
A water witch from stumptown or a Rose's City Thorn
less-than-perfect sanity, a reason to go on
Ethereal day, you are my song in the rain
A cloud of fading memories seeping into the bay
crystalistic pseudonyms for two jacks-of-all-trades
or a pair of wannabe music stars, one already halfway
Someday I'll stay longer, maybe we'll have time to talk
You go out to protests, watching communism chalk
My heart, my soul, my future plans, I give them all to you
I stay here and spiral, writing palimpsest tunes
Chipped polish on a fingernail or a fragile bit of glass
My thoughts change like time signatures, as time still slowly passes
Ethereal day, you are my song in the rain
A cloud of fading memories seeping into the bay
crystalistic pseudonyms for two jacks-of-all-trades
or a pair of wannabe music stars, one already halfway
And now pieces of broken pens scatter across the floor
A new leaf turns like notebook pages
summer's luminescence ends
I'm always there to help you, but sometimes I'm out of my mind
so just shine on, cyan diamond, and ill be home some odd night
