Song Description

A mystical folk-pop song

Lyrics

Twist My Beautiful
Morning comes over the neighborhood
And I should crawl back where I could
offer my penny-whistle prayers
from the top of the stairs
on my breath

And you lay there sleeping
The beauty you?re keeping
isn?t lost for a moment this time
And your ancient face
always carries the traces

Jami,
We are fireflies
and Persian eyes
dynamite in pirate skies
Waves and tone
wrapped in skin and bones
We are tea in the morning
and mother?s loving warnings
Storms in the desert
and everything beautiful

Daylight wraps me in memory again
with the bicycles making their way
And all that their wheels have to say
is that changes and changes unfold

And your body carries Jade green
A heartbeat of eternity
breathing its way in your light
And all that your love has to give
Is this poetry?

Jami,
We are tiny eyes
and velvet thighs
somersaults and waltzing
In through the night
airplanes, side streams, and sights
We are fireflies
and ocean sides
father?s walks with open smiles
flowers and every sea
All of bread and poetry

Twist my beautiful
What is the difference between sleeping and waking?
