Delphinium

I read your letter against the wind
It left me with my homesickness
I left that life behind my friend
But you and I will meet again

I slept inside my old bathtub
Then I abscond, my mourning dove
I kissed your mother my goodbyes
And left for my home in the skies
Ascend into my seagrass beds
And live inside my lonely head
Come into my home again
And live in my own fairyland

I stole the light from a firefly
It left me feeling hypnotized
I fell into an old salt mine
It changed my mind and took my spine
Dragonflies live inside my mind
They tell me that I should get a life
But life is nothing but a dream
It cursed your heart and took my spleen

I wandered the forest late last night
You asked if I left out of spite
The mossy ground smelled like champagne
The trees, they sighed and said my name
I swallowed a yellow desert rose
Now I sit here tied all up in knots
So come into my home again
And live on my own mountaintop

I lay there sleeping patiently
As spiders crawled into my sheets
They laughed into my aching ears
And told me that I should face my fears
So come inside my home again
And live on as my one best friend
Sleep and try hard not to cry
I'll sing my sweetest lullaby

I read your letter upside down
You asked me to come and take my crown
I left that life behind, my friend
But you and I will meet again
