Song for my (as yet) imaginary Queen

(recorded live at Ace in the Hole, Graton CA 2/11/06)

Darling, when you rolled my way
After making sweet afternoon love today
You picked right up the threads of our conversation
Of Nietzche, Krishnamurti and Jung
Wove those threads right through this wonderful moment
Wrapped them round me body, mind and soul
That's when I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt
That this is the last time I'll ever start over again

Darling, when you danced my way
Your feet floating across the floor in angel's ballet
A royal grace in every step you take
The Goddess peering from your smiling face
A halo round your hair
A crown of silver fire
That's when I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt
That this is the last time I'll ever start over again

Darling, when you shared your dream
Of all that you would do if you were Queen for a Day
The joy you'd bring, the pain you'd take away
And Africa lying bleeding would feel your healing hands
Most of all you'd dry the tears from this crying land

But there was nothing in your dreams just for you
Not even a single jewel just for you
And that's when I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt
That this is the last time I'll ever start over again
