Close your eyes, lean in and hush Tilt your face toward the stars Through black air, the fireflies blush Galaxies call from afar Strike me dead for not believing When at first I saw the sign Cloaked in inky thoughts and doubt Blind and drunk on tokay wine, then Lights down by the riverbed Sparkling at the waters' edge Can you see? whispers of a magic land Let's go, kiss the proffered hand Come with me, please Something stirs beneath the surface Chemtrails chart a path above Teasels rustling like lace Fly now show me what you're made of Thoughtforms shimmer out of sight Dreams I've had of quiddity Dancing in and out of night Show yourself and sing to me, please Lights down by the riverbed Sparkling at the waters' edge Can you see? whispers of a magic land Let's go, kiss the proffered hand Sing with me, now Take me with you..... Take my hand, we'll leave together Take a breath and follow me Can't un-hear what you heard Secrets bind us now forever Lights down by the riverbed Sparkling at the waters' edge Can you see? whispers of a magic land Let's go, kiss the proffered hand Hurry up. Let's go
