20170530 - When You Arrived

from The Song Diary II by Paleo

/

lyrics

I was gone when your mother wasn’t very far along.
A fool being a fool, driving around from town to town
pretending to be free, on no one’s team but me,
and you were the star I couldn’t see through the half-moon of that dream.
I was a balloon on a needle, and I cradled all of that fear.
Here was this blooming light, and I was playing the idiot deer.
And though I’m ashamed for you to know any of that part,
know as soon as you showed up, little lady, you had all of my heart,

once my world wound and my lightning ground
and my stones turned and my blisses burned
and my wish washed and my fool got lost
and my walls climb and my words rewind
and my list hit and my curtain splits
and my rose glowed and my rainbow chose
and my days braked and my lovers faked
and my bombs swanned and my enemies bond
and my belle balled and my toss got called
and my dice danced and my cancer pranced
and my clock tocked and my waves got rocked
and my dark sparked and my thunder barked
and my sky dived and my blue eyes cried
for joy when you arrived,
for joy when you arrived.
