Nocturne

Wildflower, 'neath the Autumn leaves
 lead me to the river, bind my hands and feet
 lost for words...
 I just couldn't speak
 will I sink or swim up to the gods to pull me in?
 Like a fish in the sea
 come to me
 bad retention is
 killing our sheep
 light through sleeping eyes
 blend the colors with the night
 song constructed from the fire
 sing it all the way to the sky
 wild, wildflower, still breathing in the sand
 spread your leaves just like feathers, as the rain sets in
 ah, it's so dry
 couldn't understand
 will I sink or swim up to the gods to pull me in?
 Like a fish in the sea
 come to me
 bad retention is
 killing our sheep
 light through sleeping eyes
 blend the colors with the night
 song constructed from the fire
 sing it all the way to the sky
 ten thousand years and you're still not ready for changes
 you've got your fathers eyes
 but who will have them after you die?
