The Everlasting Muse

I want to find this girl I know I need to take her out I set a snare in evening air Made of faith and hope and doubt I want to spend some time with her Learn the secrets of her trade I wouldn't mean to cross the line And look into the other side Forbidden to my kind Forbidden to my kind I need to hang out with my love The raven-headed sprite I know I'll never dance like her Or keep her up at night I need to hang around with her I need to let her know Her cause is mine I'm but a slave I look into her wondrous gaze And taste the strangest core And make the purest noise What I would to do to meet the girl I'd stand out in the rain Outside my window watching close She will appear again Still polishing her crazy nail Still wispy careless, drunk on song If I could only right my wrongs And take her to my favorite place And steal a melody 'Cause I need only see her face A dozen worries fall away And music rushes in Listen to the sound of life Drink deep of the day Wait for her but don't obsess She will go the other way Winds will blow and storms will rage The news is always sad Money tends to disappear Beauty crumbles with the years Music is for us Music is for us What I would to do to meet the girl I'd stand out in the rain Outside my window watching close She will appear again Still polishing her crazy nail Still wispy careless, drunk on song If I could only right my wrongs And take her to my favorite place And steal a melody 'Cause I need only see her face A dozen worries fall away And music rushes in If I could only see her face And know that she was close There is a deeper magic here The everlasting muse I left the danger for a nod I left this sadness for a dig I know that I am in safe hands She pays the bill and smokes cigar And on a napkin silk She weaves her manuscript with skill An intro, outro, middle 8 A tapestry of words A subtle gift to modern rock She says be popular, play pop And you will win my love A subtle gift to modern rock She says be popular, play pop And you will win my love
