The Everlasting Muse Songtext / Lyric

I want to find this girl I know

I need to take her out

I set a snare in evening air

Made of faith and hope and doubt

I want to spend some time with her

Learn the secrets of her trade

I wouldn't mean to cross the line

And look into the other side

Forbidden to my kind

Forbidden to my kind



I need to hang out with my love

The raven-headed sprite

I know I'll never dance like her

Or keep her up at night






I need to hang around with her

I need to let her know

Her cause is mine

I'm but a slave

I look into her wondrous gaze

And taste the strangest core



And make the purest noise

What I would to do to meet the girl

I'd stand out in the rain

Outside my window watching close

She will appear again

Still polishing her crazy nail



Still wispy careless, drunk on song

If I could only right my wrongs

And take her to my favorite place

And steal a melody

'Cause I need only see her face

A dozen worries fall away



And music rushes in



Listen to the sound of life

Drink deep of the day

Wait for her but don't obsess

She will go the other way

Winds will blow and storms will rage

The news is always sad

Money tends to disappear

Beauty crumbles with the years

Music is for us

Music is for us

What I would to do to meet the girl

I'd stand out in the rain

Outside my window watching close

She will appear again

Still polishing her crazy nail

Still wispy careless, drunk on song

If I could only right my wrongs

And take her to my favorite place

And steal a melody

'Cause I need only see her face

A dozen worries fall away

And music rushes in

If I could only see her face

And know that she was close

There is a deeper magic here

The everlasting muse

I left the danger for a nod

I left this sadness for a dig

I know that I am in safe hands

She pays the bill and smokes cigar

And on a napkin silk

She weaves her manuscript with skill

An intro, outro, middle 8

A tapestry of words

A subtle gift to modern rock

She says be popular, play pop

And you will win my love

A subtle gift to modern rock

She says be popular, play pop

And you will win my love
