lyrics

My crown as a girl was a shining braid I weaved into a python
I heard that a life was an empty page
That men would want to write on, right on

Right on right on

But I got the pearl and the nascent flame
and a box for those old idioms
Push my hand into the windowpane
Pull the drapes around a dark room of my own

Through the glass, there stretched a lovely plane
but who was I to glide across?
And even when I was alone, I thought:
I’d better keep the lights on, lights on

Lights on lights on

But I got the pearl and the nascent flame
and a box for those old idioms
Push my hand into the windowpane
Pull the drapes around a dark room of my own

My crown as a girl was a shining braid
that I weaved into a python
got my finger to an empty page
and that's the page I yearn to write on
write on
