Jason Webley - Pyramid lyrics

rate me

Tell me Margaret, what is comin' down this river?

YouÂ’ve been watchin' so much longer now than I

Do you know Margaret, just what will this day deliver

Does it work out tooth for tooth & eye for eye?

They started stackin' up the stones the very day that you were born

No matter how you grew, they would tower above you

You could change yo name, move all the way to sunny California

But when you start yo life anew, does that long shadow follow you?

Who was it Margaret, that chose to resurrect you here for me

In scattered lines of poetry

This distant, wistful girl I see reflected in yo eyes?

Forgive me Margaret, all the ways I am mistaken, all the liberties IÂ’ve taken

I have projected you in costumes I donÂ’t think were quite yo size

Now here IÂ’m climbin' up these stones a hundred years from where you were born

Lookin' for a song that could take me to you

I have traced these roads, drove past yo home in Burbank California

But you were not inside you have found a better place to hide

& tell me Margaret, when IÂ’m gone, what will I want

To be left at the bottom of a garbage bin

Or dusted off & pulled up onto stage?

Will it please me when someone lights a candle & says my name?

Will I say leave me in my pyramid, blow out the flame & close the lid

This story is done, why donÂ’t we turn the page?
