The brilliant sun sets deep against the darkened lilac sky
Makes tearful eyes aglow, by beams, in sapphire-amber hue
It paints the deathly speckled lake tints mournful moods belie
My feet are bare on wooden boards and careful not to skew
Still half my heart would long to sink beneath and breathless, burst
While half it longs to dash inside to simply breathe in you
If half my heart were faithful hunger, half were faithful thirst
Then faith would leave me starve or parch, each way a steadfast end
I'd drown in joy or walk with pain, by each I would be cursed
I'd sell myself to see my life through your dry eyes, my friend
For faded bars you're blind to see that will not let me free
I scream and shout and wail and cry, yet still they will not bend
Still I'd remain, and happy too, if when you look to me
Against the lilac sky you see the free bird I might be
Makes tearful eyes aglow, by beams, in sapphire-amber hue
It paints the deathly speckled lake tints mournful moods belie
My feet are bare on wooden boards and careful not to skew
Still half my heart would long to sink beneath and breathless, burst
While half it longs to dash inside to simply breathe in you
If half my heart were faithful hunger, half were faithful thirst
Then faith would leave me starve or parch, each way a steadfast end
I'd drown in joy or walk with pain, by each I would be cursed
I'd sell myself to see my life through your dry eyes, my friend
For faded bars you're blind to see that will not let me free
I scream and shout and wail and cry, yet still they will not bend
Still I'd remain, and happy too, if when you look to me
Against the lilac sky you see the free bird I might be
