about

Written for and about a goddess.

lyrics

In the dream I was young
In the woods running from something
Big and dark and hungry

Then a voice called to me
Sweet and clear from the trees saying
Come and find your lover

When I wake up I must write down
Everything I remember
Cuz the days are so short and the year
Is a dark dreary sprint to December

Then I saw eyes so bright
Shining out like a light
From the shadow of a thicket
Full of impish mischief

Then her hand on my face
Leading to an embrace
In the arms of an immortal

A dark haired wood nymph

When I wake up I must go back
Back to sleep, back to dreaming
Where I think I can feel just as young
And as real as the girl in the forest

The cold, tried to drag me back
In to a frost tipped web of thorns
Alive, like a demon wind
With teeth and wings and horns
The nymph laughed above me and banished the thing
By blowing a kiss that awakened the spring

When I woke up the chill was gone
And the shadows receded
She was there next to me
Warm and real not a dream
All that I ever needed
She’s all I ever needed
The one thing that I needed
