Magpie Tales #37 woke up this mornin' beside myself just me, myself starin' at myself forty days bleedin' into forty nights i can't make it right can't stand my sight risin' river drownin' hopes of love no sign of light from them clouds above down below just a lonely gaze silent and haunting through the smoky haze green valley memories swirl and tease my head and what you said before you fled promised me that i'd find love again a true soul friend at different rainbow ends risin' river drownin' hopes of love no sign of light from them clouds above down below just a lonely gaze silent and haunting through the smoky haze Rene ~ 2010 Whoa!
