Sylvia and Colette

There is a Japanese maple tree
It's over by the temple hall
Collette, she took a picture with her paintbrush
Now that eastern maple hangs on the wall

The paper kings, they chopped it down
I guess they had their reasons
Now Collette, she paints the sunset
Their paper axe can't cut that down yet

Sylvia, she just hides in the woods
Looking for the middle of nowhere
You see, Sylvia skipped bail, the sheriffs on her trail
She is hoping they won't find her there

She was charged for having tea with the divine
And conspiracy to share the ancient forgotten news
The sacred invisible weapon
The Achilles heal of the mirage of you

Sylvia and Collette
Have you met them yet?
Up or down, east or west
Whatever time suits you best

They will be knocking on your red door
Show you colors you ain't seen before
They will dancing on your front porch
So won't you let them in so they can let you out?

We'll all be dancing on the front lawn
In the backyard too
Collette, she looks like a yellow silhouette
And Sylvia, she looks brand new

Sylvia and Collette
If you haven't met them yet
I tell you this, you are trying to light a candle that's already lit
Surrender to win

There is a flow
We first felt it in Ohio
The valley of legends, under a full moon
It must have been around eleven

Late may, early june
Spring, she must have been working the late shift
Where we end, where she begins
We could not tell you this

We became the flow, the flow became us
And just like Collette, we cannot forget
We have the vision, it's crystal clear
Any path will take you here

It's a rocky rocky road
And there are boulders up ahead
Well you can crash and burn
Or you can live and learn like Sylvia and Collette

Sylvia and Collette
Have you met them yet?
Up or down, east or west
Whatever time suits you best

They will be knocking on your red door
Show you colors you ain't seen before
They will dancing on your front porch
So won't you let them in so they can let you out?

We'll all be dancing on the front lawn
In the backyard too
Collette she looks like a yellow silhouette
And Sylvia she looks brand new

Sylvia and Collette
If you haven't met them yet
I tell you this, you are trying to light a candle that's already lit
Surrender to win
