Fairy Wing

I’m only learning for the first time

Previous conviction of an unknown crime

But on the night I sang my first rhyme

I was a girl

On the floor

Of her own life

Pasting on a fairy wing to fly

Out of sight

I’m on learning for the first time

I've been making love to the beloved from my last life

There on that night, I sang my first rhyme

As the girl

On the floor

Spread eagle to an open fire

Pasting on a fairy wing to fly

Out of sight

Now we’re under a blood moon

We’re calling it a truce

There in the light it gave

You were precious and trembling

I’ll remember

I’m only learning for the first time

I’m only learning for the first time

I’m only learning for the first time

I'm only learning for the last time

Polish up your silver, Mama

It’s time to shine

In your own light

Out of sight
