Rest In Peace
A night flame burning high,
Reaching to the sky, why?
Wind whips, the dragon appears.
What you see is real?
How sharp the edges,
Cut like a knife,
The night air.
Love me till tomorrow,
Be with me always,
Not just in my heart.
I am going away,
The Alabama moon,
No longer shines for her.
Your eyes,
Do they see, they are seen?
Reach to the sky,
In the mist the ghost appears.
Ride the wind,
The dragons flames,
Ride, ride, open up inside.
Always the ghost,
Lurking waiting,
Ghost of past, so far back.
No one can see,
But all is seen,
Dance with the wind,
Feel the vibration, touch.
Love life,
I am not the one for you,
I have no morals,
Go skinny dipping, fun.
Clap your hands,
Squeeze mud between your toes,
Sara sing, lace and flowers.
Black ribbon on the door,
See the gypsy dance,
A fire blazing,
The ghost is gone,
May he rest in peace.
