Rose Lineage (feat. Mama Crow & Benjy Wertheimer)

A Rose Blooms When She is ready When She is ready And not a moment too soon A Rose Blooms When Her Velvet Darkness Awakens to the dawn A Rose Blooms When Her Sweet Honey Is tasted by every petal Swollen with becoming Bursting at the hips Air rapt with fragrance Join the dance of spring A Rose Blooms (A rose blooms) When She is ready When She is ready And not a moment too soon Lineage of the Grandmothers Lineage of Velvet Prose Lineage of the Crimson Waters Lineage of the Rose Lineage of the Magdalene Daughters Lineage of the Scarlet Codes Lineage of the Visions they brought Her Back to the Heart To the Lineage of the Rose A Rose Blooms When She is ready When She is ready And not a moment too soon I am Bud Maiden, Diamond in the rough Painting wings of satin blushing Petal temples, tender to touch I let you in I let you in I am blossoming slowly to the light I am remembering all the of the phrases Sun light language dew mist in the night Flowering into poems for the ages I am Rose Mother in full bloom Script of Ruby Fire emblazoned Petals fall slowly by the Moon I drink in the wisdom of all that was tasted I am potpourri danced upon the earth Holy Death takes nothing from my beauty I am ground into the rosary beads Come sing Your Prayers over Me Come sing Your Prayers over Me A Rose Blooms A Rose Blooms Lineage of the Grandmothers Lineage of Velvet Prose Lineage of the Crimson Waters Lineage of the Rose Lineage of the Magdalene Daughters Lineage of the Scarlet Codes Lineage of the Visions they brought Her Back to the Heart A Rose Blooms When She is ready When She is ready And not a moment too soon
