Harmony

Last night as I lay, asleep in bed

A fairytale came to my head

About a boy, whose soul was under-fed

And in the morn as I rose, frail and dazed

And the sun crept through my half-drawn shades, I

Rubbed my eyes, still amazed from dreaming

That I'd lived a life and made mistakes, and

Tumbled through mundane heartaches

And met a girl, who'd changed the stakes completely

And I'd traversed far through foreign lands, and

Held the truth right in my hands

And watched it slip, like castles made of sand

Well I met a girl, not long ago, she

Told me that my life could be so

Filled with passion, that I might overflow

She told me that thought was my crutch

And I was missing, oh so much

Then no more words, only gentle touch

And she taught me that life was not rehearsed

And dreams of better only lead to worse

And her boy e e, he spoke of thirst

And how we should take feelings first

Well I met a man, he said to me

That I should lead life cautiously,

Well I took his words down to the sea, and drowned them

Then with my life I set afloat

With a girl in mind on which to dote

Then deconstructed my own motes and drifted

And as my barriers came tumbling down

In the distance I saw the crown

Of enlightened living, no more ups or downs

But without my mind to lead the way

My course and soul, did drift astray

And I was borne, unheeded, against the waves

Well this girl she held me, tight and near

And told me I had much to fear

And for a moment, the world was clear, for a moment

She told that Truth was not trite

And held me up unto the light

But I can't get this story right, I'm trying

Cause the land I speak of is a land afar

And memories fade like shooting stars

And this song's my last lingering scar, and it's healing

And forever as I lay, asleep in bed

These thoughts will drift on through my head

Of this fairytale, this fairytale, I never wholly read
