Inside My Mind's Eye

lyrics

It’s a cool, damp day at the lakeside
See a silhouette of a landslide
Inside my mind’s eye I have visions of a girl
She glares right through me and my head begins to twirl
I ache with yearning as my heart tilts in a whirl

It’s a strange mist hangs o’er the landscape
See a blonde-haired muse in a white cape
Inside my mind’s eye I have seen this all before
A siren calling me in tones I can’t ignore
I feel anxiety that shakes me to the core . . .
. . . shakes me to the core

(Chastened to be) (ones so dear)
Chastened to be pleasant to the ones I hold so dear
(Hastening) (the news)
Hastening to share with them the news
(Images) (web of fear)
Of the images that haunt me in my tangled web of fear
(Trapped inside) (my muse)
Trapped inside the clutches of my muse . . . of my muse

It’s a dark, warm night in the prairie
Near the rising moon looms a fairy
Inside my mind’s eye I have walked above a cloud
To where the air’s so thin no breathing is allowed
And every spirit there is cosmically endowed . . .
. . . cosmically endowed . . . cosmically endowed . . . cosmically endowed
