Widow’s Peak

Come wonder with me Through a young girl's dream Don't wake me up too soon There's a halo on the moon You hunger, I'll thirst Pink stars do burst God of lightning, Goddess of fern A map to memorise, a lullaby to learn Come on, darling, take me there Where red clouds bloom and fill the air Where my purple heart beats to your jet black snare Up on Piney Point if you dare You're my blood, you're my wine You're my mountain to climb Say you're mine You're mine You're mine Bride in the fog And no way out Can't see my own hands Can't hear a sound Where angels conspire and heroes do drown I am lost in the mire, upside down Is that my soul on fire whirling by? Take a walk, man of God I just want to die I tell you, my friend The widow is on my trail (Shhh) You'll hear her You will know her A chill on the skin A song in the wind To wonder, to roam To never know home To lie under a sky of blood reds and pale blues To tread ten thousand miles in a dead man's shoes There's a demon loose, a demon loose I can't get home I can't get home For the road is a snake of mist In the shadow of a rebel's fist His jacket on my back His bones on the shore But the secret to dreams is to dream up a door A portrait of him A picture of her A keyhole in a Douglas Fir Now Now Ah
