Unicorn (Christina Britton)

Story Behind The Song

Christina and I fell in the love with this piece of music we found on a collaboration site and I wrote this lyric in about 30 minutes. Christina is sooo talented with alternative and back-up vocals, I was so impressed with what she was able to do with it. It's one of my favorite alternative pieces.

(Intro: Sung softly)
Oh unicorn
Unicorn
Oh unicorn
Unicorn

(V1)
Chain me to a pomegranate tree
Surround me with all your ecstasy
Oh what treasures do you bring
A white horse ... without his wings (backup: Oh, unicorn...oh, unicorn)

(V2)
We're surrounded by a wooden fence
Does our future make any sense
Will temptation be your fate
A broken heart the first mistake (backup: a big mistake)

(Bridge)
Believe in me
I believe in you
The legends tell me
What to do
If I rewrite the books
You can live in peace
Where no one looks

(Chorus)
Ooooooooh
Unicorn, what do you see
Are you real or fantasy
Evil men they fear your horn
A drop of poison, I'm reborn
They want to hunt you down
Til there's only one to be found
Oh, unicorn (backup: unicorn, unicorn)

(V3)
I'll ride you far from this place
A palace of kings
Where true love doesn't mean a thing
Your secret language has been forgot (backup: language been forgot)
Ancient wisdom tied up in knots (backup: all...tied up in a knots)

(Bridge)
Believe in me
I believe in you
The legends tell me
What to do
If I rewrite the books
You can live in peace
Where no one looks

(Chorus)
Ooooooooh
Unicorn, what do you see
Are you real or fantasy
Evil men they fear your horn
A drop of poison, I'm reborn
They want to hunt you down
Til there's only one to be found
Oh, unicorn (backup: unicorn, unicorn)

(Outro)
Oooooooooh
Unicorn, they'll hunt you down
Til there's only one to be found
Your precious iv'ry horn
Becomes a rose that's been dethorned
Oh unicorn ...
