The Gift

Through her dreams reach arms of night
She moves each street with her eyes
As a small town blooms upside down
And rains with lunes of iris light

Limp red tongue and tusk of light
She strides in the maw of the limelight
The faint crowd let it wane down
Down to you, oo-oh

She's gone
Off into the highway song
The cars
They whisper and they sigh
Her name
Endlessly

Strain and hunger winter's price
These rooms breed suits and pearls alike
When summer comes down
As a curtain before a crowd
She'll know the gambit's ruse
A game that ends as soon as

She's gone
Off into the highway song
The cars
They whisper and they sigh
Her name
Endlessly
