MY LIFE HAS BEEN A TA PES TRY
OF RICH AND RO YAL HUE
AN E VER LA STING VI SION OF
THE E VER CHAN GING VIEW
A WON DROUS WO VEN MA GIC
IN BITS OF BLUE AND GOLD
A TA PES TRY TO FEEL AND SEE
IM PO SSI BLE TO HOLD
ONCE A MID THE SOFT
SIL VER SAD NESS IN THE SKY
THERE CAME A MAN OF FOR TUNE
A DRIF TER PA SSING BY
HE WORE A TORN
AND TA TTERED CLOTH
HE MOVED WITH
SOME UN CER TAIN TY
ONCE HE REACHED
FOR SOME THING
SOON WI THIN MY TA PES TRY
A LONG THE RU TTED ROAD
HE SAT DOWN ON A RI VER ROCK
AND TURNED IN TO A TOAD
IT SEEMED THAT HE HAD FA LLEN
IN TO SOME ONE'S WI CKED SPELL
AND I WEPT TO SEE HIM SU FFER
THOUGH I DI DN'T KNOW HIM WELL
AS I WATCHED IN
SO RROW THERE
IN TIMES OF DEE PEST DARK NESS
I'VE SEEN HIM DRESSED IN BLACK
NOW MY TA PES TRY'S UN RA VE LING
HE'S COME TO TAKE ME BACK
