Sunlight and Anarchy

from Music in a Dark Café by Nathan Bollig

/

lyrics

Many moons ago
I met a tortured soul
She had calm brave eyes and a vagrant mind
you could see
She wanted to be
a famous shadow
wiser than the willows
Leaving secrets for me to find
We left that little town
the malls and the movies
chasing stories
Leaving floating grins behind

And dead flowers in Babylon
Sculptured ivy and stone
Astronauts in our sleeping bags
Troubadours in our shoes
Before Tolkien
and Lewis Carroll
and Shakespeare
I had you

Looking for answers but never asking questions
because when you smiled at me
I didn't need the truth
Suffering, patiently
You painted butterflies on skeletons
the elements of your soul in view

Sunlight and anarchy
strange places we'd rather be
A dark mind sitting next to me
Was all I ever knew
Before Poe
and Lennon
and Kafka
I had you
