Peacock In The Tall Grass Lyrics
His plumage deceived
My childhood dreams; blue-green
Pulled by a thread through
time's riverbed, upstream.
And as I mend the seam,
he spills, flesh to steam
How I would haste these patient days
To know your verdant lawns...
You flaunt your shine, so pavonine
But you run away, terrified
and now I cannot tell what's your's from mine
Or what I'll find...
He thinks he is free, but
my shadow, it hangs in the reeds.
Once soft, supple limbs
now taut with attentive greed.
And now I want your head,
My quilled diadem
Our conscience bound and struggling
Once-dazzled eyes, you've lost
The glow; the beat
In self-deceit
You'd rather gag on the rime
than share the hearth and watch the cold
retreat
upon receipt
With readied blade; my trembling future
in one hundred eyes
Can I rewind?
I would trade it all just to chase you through
Soft pearls of dew,
the warmth and hue...
My childhood dreams; blue-green
Pulled by a thread through
time's riverbed, upstream.
he spills, flesh to steam
To know your verdant lawns...
You flaunt your shine, so pavonine
But you run away, terrified
and now I cannot tell what's your's from mine
Or what I'll find...
my shadow, it hangs in the reeds.
Once soft, supple limbs
now taut with attentive greed.
My quilled diadem
Once-dazzled eyes, you've lost
The glow; the beat
In self-deceit
than share the hearth and watch the cold
retreat
upon receipt
in one hundred eyes
I would trade it all just to chase you through
Soft pearls of dew,
the warmth and hue...
