LION AND BUTTERFLY

+ Show full styles

Apricot glaze A burnished icing Stirs and folds into a bishop's purple swirl This lonely sunset Reaches it's fatherly arms With that ol' time motherly caress, around this wounded world Above Ozark hills Pregnant of wind and stars Speaks from the cold front's edge, "I'm just a jealous sky." The snow crackled grounds Hold whispered secrets of the Lord They'd seen his face before, in the lion to the butterfly ( Chorus ) Oh invisible roads of tomorrow And I do appreciate you bein' 'round Yet, spare me this cup while it's quaken filled In my life, small sips will suffice, I've often found Christmas morning train Evergreen watchin' the wheels below Two cardinals perched out on a stuttering.......frozen branch Ozark hills wipe the sleepers From their squinted spring early gaze Tangerine orb pops in the east, for at least.......one more one last chance Someone asked us to imagine There's no this nor that nor the other As a sparkling silver stream, it's easy if you try Cloaked in celestial expanse Equal to the love you make Collided rebirthed young spirits sing, "On mighty mountain high!" ( Repeat Chorus )
