Oh dear… I wish I knew how to record more than one vocal track so I could have the sound of twins singing the chorus, but when you are a non-stem female musician, you just have to do the best you can & keep walking forward.
His eyes were blue, his eyes were pale
The absence of a fire.
Where the wind blew, there they went
The absence of desire.
Peppermint, a hint of life
Something pure and true.
All around you like a kite
There his blue eyes flew.
A piece of lace, a secret place
No one knows where it ends.
But all along he held your hand
Just like a pair of twins.
His fingers were so thin and yet
He held your little hand.
He walked with you upon the beach
A heart drawn in the sand.
The sky was flying like a flag
Had you seen that flag before?
A gust of wind opening a door.
A piece of lace, a secret place
No one knows where it ends.
But all along he held your hand
Just like a pair of twins.
You stood upon the beach with him
the gavel was put down.
With rings upon your finger now
The absence of a sound.
A piece of lace blew in the wind
It was tied to a pole.
The wind was blowing to the east
The place where fairies go.
A piece of lace, a secret place
No one knows where it ends.
But all along he held your hand
Just like a pair of twins.
This song was inspired by the zodiac sign of Libra. As I mentioned before, whenever I am feeling down I choose a sign of the zodiac to connect with and quickly it will cheer me up. I chose Libra, because it is the astrological ruler of lace, one of my favorite things.
It is probably dangerous to spell out for the world a list of your favorite things, but I will do so anyway and hope for the best. As I said, one of them is lace. I like to include a piece of lace in every song. It is a nice escape from my everyday life, which doesn’t feel lacy. My regular life is cornbread baked in a cast iron pan, so heavy I can barely lift it. But I dream of lace and one day I will buy a piece to keep forever.
So, at any rate, this is a list of my favorite things, but please keep in mind that by virtue of them being my favorite things I am also drawn to their opposites and to things which hit them at odd angles.
