Another She from Strange Rider by Noah Zacharin

Another She




you think she paints colours on the mountainside
sketches the flash of silver where the rivers rise
you think she sees angels in the darkest sky
sweetens the air around her like a holy choir

you will speak her name
hungry hold her hand
you'll share a few dark hours when you act the man
but you better good
for meaning in her words
'cause green-eyes tell you things that can't be understood

she will kiss you once then slip into the dark
wait a year of seasons for another reason to call
you think she'll bring you blossoms for your lonely heart
she sets your eyes to burning like two lamps of love

you will speak…

I fell under her spell again when springtime came
her eyes were light her laughs were like a springtime rain
I babbled what was broken listened for her reply
felt silence swell like a flock of birds about to fly

I spoke her name
hungry held her hand
shared a few short hours when I acted the man
you know I listened well
for the will behind her words
green-eyes told me things that couldn't be understood
