John & Mary & The Valkyries Easter
Tomorrow's never far off if you can hear the toll of the bell
Days of thrill, adventures when you had me under your spell
When we'd ride the midnight trolley to make the end of the day
On a cloudless night while galaxies twinkled away.
But on a darkened journey, I prayed my patience would last
I put aside my future for a way to return to the past
When we had our time in the spotlight but stayed out late in the rain
With the pale and fleeting flowers all melting away.
Oh, what a feeling is holding me
I wasn't fooled by the passing of days
I just couldn't see.
There's a storm of cherry petals, a pink and grey wedding cake
But the morning bell rings and the city is finally awake.
Oh, for a mystery
When the whole world's in love
There's hope
For silly me.
I've heard of scattered lovers living lives of quiet despair
I never got the message, if you called, I just wasn't there
I keep dreaming of a mountain, I wake up just as you fall
To a trembling candle while shadows dance on the wall.
Just a trembling candle while shadows dance on the wall.
