Feather And Ink

Upon this rock I hang my crown
And I will wait here for thee until the sun goes down
And if you don’t come I will leave a message in the sky
That will nourish your soul until the day you die
Bring me a feather and ink and a scroll to nail to the tree
I will write the final decree and you must search for your destiny
These few words I will print upon your heart and paint
Your images in the sky before the universe die
The wind is blowing in the East and the people
Are celebrating in the street
And a warm energy is passing over me
If courage could climb this giant rock,
I would give it all that I have got
Smile when you see the stars flickering in the sky
Smile when you say the final goodbye
I will wait for you until the sun goes down
And if I am not around look for the scroll on the tree
And the message in the sky
The moon will keep your company
