Cosmos and Damien

I've never told this story to another living soul

For fear it might awaken and the story would unfold

Candles in a courtyard

And a paper colored cat

While demos danced on feathers

And cosmos held the hat

Next came their profession

And a paper colored purr

And umber armed albino

And the crowd began to stir

I slid behind a linden

To swallow what I'd seen

I slid behind a linden

To swallow what I'd seen

Threads of grass and thimbles

Needles made of hair

Weaves a dance that stumbles

Limbs laughed in the air

Threads of grass and thimbles

Needles made of hair

Weaves a dance that stumbles

Limbs laughed in the air

And on the day you fall

Who's name would you call

The only thing you taught me is the only thing you know

How to start a fire once the embers cease to glow

The only thing you taught me is the only thing you know

How to start a fire once the embers cease to glow
