Lyrics
RAINBOWS IN THE MUD
Fleeting flower, you do all you can before the withering
In your tower you await a man, the promise of a ring.
The circle tightens, patterns repeat,
Your petals close with loss of heat.
Fearful father awaits the perfect moment, never to arrive.
Desperate daughter hates her malcontent, struggles to survive.
Your father fails, your heart unclaimed,
All men now must shoulder blame.
Building a history of love and neglect.
Living the mystery learning to detect,
Rainbows, rainbows in the mud.
Tomorrow's sorrow is yesterday's grief frozen in time.
You're forced to borrow and steal like a thief to stay the tide.
Stagnant fragments, Islands of the soul,
Will the parts become a whole?
Healing islands in the soul.
Building a history of cause and effect.
Living the mystery learning to respect,
Rainbows, rainbows in the mud.
