Dave McPherson - Autumn: A Ghostly Reprise lyrics

The bird's cry is that of a beautiful song. Broken shards of myrrh beneath it's weathered talons. Spring dawns, the freshly plumed phoenix spreads it's wings & glares at the inviting skyline. Wading through the waters of resilience. Whilst you drown in a quandary of ambivalence. The bravest sailors discard doubt to the fathoms below. Rise to the surface to those hopeful shores you know. You cannot forgive & I cannot forget. So we commit our love to the depths of regret. Beautiful puzzles under amaranth skies. Hearts with muzzles & a ghostly reprise. I wear no disguise, I wear no cape. I wish to survive, not to escape. I used to believe only in you but now my belief resides in me. No more metaphors, no more cryptic wars, we'll never again share a key.
