Pursuit Of The Unlikely Treasure (Swamp Witch Pedals Silver Birch)

Every day
They open up their eyes
And then they hope that they
Will finally realize
Before it slips away
What it has really all been about anyway

But no one really knows
No one really knows
What they will find

Somewhere in the dark
There's an answer, though,
Hidden in the places
Where they seldom go

Written across pages
Made of skin and bone
Unless it's just illusions
In some twisted show

All these hours
Spent in waiting
For this moment
Hopes just fading

Until dreams were
Almost forgotten
But now your hardened heart
Starts to soften

The sun goes down
And the moon comes up
And the world will never ever
Be the same as it was

Yesterday is over
Tomorrow has to come
Glowing in the gold of the
Returning of the sun

Shadows turn from black
To blue and fade away
And slowly all the details
Of the world retake their place

And every little creature
And every blade of grass
Is coming into focus
All fully formed at last

And when the piece
That has been missing all along
Appears at last
Like some sweet song

Then suddenly
Everything snaps right into place
The solitude
Simply erased

Close your eyes
And go to sleep
The pillow warm
Against your cheek

And if you hear
The window squeak
Hide your head
Beneath the sheets

Careful not
To make a sound
Don't even let
A whisper out

Don't shiver, shake,
Or turn around
Or certainly
You will be found

One unexpected moment
And everything is stolen
Everything you wanted
For so long

One ravenous shadow
Reaching up from below
Everything that you know
Is now gone

Slipping through your fingers
Right before your eyes
Fading ever further
Like a fast receding tide

Long past the horizon
Unceasingly it flees
Until an empty ocean
Is all that's left to see

No matter how far
I will find you
However long the
Hours grow

No matter what strange
things start to brew
No matter what cruel
Winds will blow

I'm coming
I'm right behind you
I'm coming
I'm gonna find you

This wicked plot
That you've been caught in
Does not mean that
All hope is lost

Don't, for a moment,
Feel forgotten
You will never
leave my thoughts
