lyrics

Sheherezade

I’ve come from a land where the rats run wild
I’ll travel yet another nine hundred miles
I’m clearing up the madness in my mind
Making room for a sadness of another kind
Where the trains have passed, no more trains coming
And the gray panorama dies into nothing
I’ve been here before

And if angels sail above my head
I shouldn’t fear the open space ahead
I can’t forget how my love was taken
From the cold dark closet, snuffed, forsaken
So old phantoms fill my need for people
I’m stranded where the sky meets steeple
I’ve been here before

You may come without a warning
But I will not meet you then
I could never live that way again
I’m too far from the beginning
Of this trail that never ends
I could never live that way again

I dream of queen with a bold façade
I dream of a night with Sheherezade
Strange ghosts rise up in certain seasons
That color my mind, influence my reason
So If you wonder if I’ve come to a decision
No, but I’m headed for a bad collison
I’ve been here before

You may come without a warning
But I will not meet you then
I could never live that way again
I’m too far from the beginning
Of this trail that never ends
I could never live that way again
