lyrics

turn it upside down and inside out
to know you was to love you or have I found
that whatever I'm looking into now
I cannot say if it's real
I cannot gauge now if I feel
that the play of light and shadow on the wall
that this is how so many stories crawl
and I'd be one of many tortured souls
waiting on what would be told

the words could mean anything now
the names could be anyone else
and birds would still fly from their nests
at the first sign of distress

if I hammered out the melody for years
could on its strength it sail to the right ears
there might still be time to quell those fears
but all of that remains to be seen
all our lives are but a dream
how was I to know when I watched you go
you'd fly away on wings of mauve and gold
and I'd be one of those left behind souls

the words could mean anything now
the names could be anyone else
and birds would still fly from their nests
at the first sign of distress

on wings of mauve and gold
