Dave McPherson - Autumn: A Ghostly Reprise lyrics

rate me

The bird's cry is that of a beautiful song.

Broken shards of myrrh beneath it's weathered talons.

Spring dawns, the freshly plumed phoenix spreads it's wings & glares at the inviting skyline.

Wading through the waters of resilience.

Whilst you drown in a quandary of ambivalence.

The bravest sailors discard doubt to the fathoms below.

Rise to the surface to those hopeful shores you know.

You cannot forgive & I cannot forget.

So we commit our love to the depths of regret.

Beautiful puzzles under amaranth skies.

Hearts with muzzles & a ghostly reprise.

I wear no disguise, I wear no cape.

I wish to survive, not to escape.

I used to believe only in you but now my belief resides in me.

No more metaphors, no more cryptic wars, we'll never again share a key.
