Here My Dear

Here my dear, I am near to you
only one way out in easy view
and you said you could bring comfort for me
in a small gypsy bag of feathers and tea
in a haze, disappear in a maze of mystic eyes
and streetlamps flicker, the steam will rise
when you bring Belfast rain in bottles of green
pouring sad stories, awkward waltzes and dreams
gardens wet with storms splash and cry
for your dark astral figure to walk on by

Here my dear, I am hearing you
come down from your full white moon
'cause you said you would be my spring sun
paint of berries, brush of horses that run
a wild, wild path tracing your grace, child
and you bring mandolin rain in perfect clarity
stringing my hopes with your precious care for me
thunder cracks a crooked line in the dirt
do your lunar phases always have to hurt?

And there's only one way out of here, my dear
there's only one road to go, through the snow
to go straight back to Chelsea

Here my dear, I'm in fear for you
studying black magick and dark runes
and I said you should dance away my pain
in a gypsy trance, burning up the rain
never fail to blow the wind into my sails
crying sea chanties, tied to the back of a whale
my heart is a cannonball, I'll blow it away
so you can see now, it's just my way

And there's only one way out of here, my dear
there's only one star to see, over the sea
that leads straight back to Chelsea

Here my dear I'm always near for you
here my dear you're always an easy view
showin' the way, gypsy feathers you wore
point back towards a distant Chelsea shore

(Happy Birthday Beth!)

Very interesting and different Happy Birthday wish, and one I approve of very much, and I know Beth does also. Yes, this is innovative.
